Our world is a fast moving and stressful world of busyness and desperation. We are always rushing and trying to cram more and more into every moment. Then there comes the time when tragedy strikes and more struggles mount. We realize that either we don’t have time for the emergency struggle or we don’t have time for the pace of life. That is the time that we realize that we cannot do both.
That is the time when we must choose.
That is the time that we realize that the only thing we can do is to cling to Christ.
Those are the times that we can call on him. He is the one who can calm the waters (Matthew 8:23-27). He has walked on the waters (Matthew 14:22-33). There is one thing the Bible teaches us that Jesus knew how to do was to calm the storms.
The Bible says:
“Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.” (Psalm 107:28-29 ESV)
Is this where you are today?
Is there a storm happening in your life today? Are the waves crashing and you cannot see over them?
There is crisis happening when you simply do not have time to stop.
Cry out to Lord today. He will hear your prayer.
And the waves of the sea will be hushed.
