Trust Him in the Storm

 Scripture:

“Cheer up! I am sure that God will do exactly what he promised. But we will first be shipwrecked on some island.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭27:25-26‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

Paul is onboard a ship heading to Rome when it ends up in a terrible storm.  They couldn’t see the stars or the sun for fourteen days and it seemed like all was lost. Paul told the people God had spoken to him and that everyone would be okay. He told them, God will do exactly what He promised, but first we will be shipwrecked. Sometimes God’s plan involves things we don’t like.

Application:

Sometimes we need reminded that God is going to do exactly what he promised, but there may be some shipwrecks in between the promise and the fulfillment of the promise. Life isn’t always easy and God’s promises sometimes have a process instead of simply happening easily, but we can rest assured that God loves us and will do what He said He would Do.  Our job is to remain faithful and obedient.

Prayer:

Father God, You are good and You have plans for my life. Sometimes the winds blow and the storms come and I question Your plans. Help me to trust You at a higher level and to know that You have everything under Your so Tyrol. Teach me not to get too stressed out over the details because You know what you are doing.

Your Son,

Jeff
