When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. ²⁴ And suddenly a violent storm arose on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus was sleeping. ²⁵ And the disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us, we are going to die!” ²⁶ He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness].

Matthew 8:23 – 26

The other day I had lunch with a great friend. During our conversation he asked where was God in the middle of life’s difficulties. As he spoke, God laid this story on my mind. My response, Jesus is in the boat with you!

As Christians, we have unlimited access to God’s power, residing in us through the Holy Spirit. He is there with us 24/7, willing to lead us through the storms of life, full of wisdom to help us make wise decisions and powerful enough to overcome the largest waves of adversity. Jesus was so confident that God was watching over Him in that boat that He slept.

Maybe you have a storm keeping you awake at night. The thoughts, the worries, the stress of it all has run you ragged and you see the next wave coming…and its big. Friend, trust me, no wave of adversity is too big for God. Trust Him daily with your life events and lean on Him for support. God is in the boat with you and will see you through the storms of life! God bless!
