Matthew 14:23-33
There have been so many weather related storms this year. The natural storms lead to thoughts on the personal storms in our lives. In either storm, we don’t know the outcome. There is nothing we can do to control its movements. But even the troubled waters are subjected to the power of God.
Personal troubled waters is in reference to our challenges, problems, or trials. Trouble help us to see our weakness and the strength of God. It is not that God can’t stop the trouble, but he wants us to see our need for him. The disciples were caught in a storm. As Jesus approached the ship, Peter cried out for help to walk on the water. As he walked toward Jesus, he saw the wind and was afraid.
In times of trouble, God is able to help us. In him, there is protection from the unsettled, bumpy waters. It is difficult to predict a storm that can go anywhere. The guidance of the Holy Spirit will help us to work through our troubles. Just as the natural storms, the personal storms can be overwhelming. At times, the trouble may feel like a flood that overcomes you. It is uncertainty which causes fear and doubt. But thank God that Jesus will come to our rescue.
In prayer, be humble and ask him to strengthen your faith. Faith is an inner conviction of the presence and power of God. It is faith, which enables us to believe. As you hear of destruction, the result of a rough storm, how do you handle your personal trouble waters. Pray and trust in the sovereignty of God.
Jesus gave peace to the troubled waters. “And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased” . It was the same power that pulled back the waters to allow the Israelites to walk on dry grounds. The enemy will attempt to influence fear. But Jesus never leaves us nor forsakes us. When you cry out for help, he will come to your rescue. He has the power to give peace to your troubled waters.
