In The Storm
I am still singing Your praise, through it all, it doesn't matter, the storms, yes I can come out on the other side.
Luke 8:22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, "Let's go over to the other side of the lake." So they got into a boat and set out. 23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. 24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him."
He did say 'let's go to the other side of the lake' and it was the other side of the storm. In the midst of it, they did lose faith, thought they were going drown! Isn't this what we do (every time? well, maybe not every time, well..hmm?). Here's the storm and we're blinded, lost, fighting our way through the blinding rain. Then when the storm settles, ahhhh peace. I see it, they're trials and tests, everyone of them.
We either have the choice to drown or go to the other side, even when Jesus is sleeping, which He never does, but did while He was man, so now He stands quietly with us in the middle of these storms (tests or trials).
And if we lose faith, He will lift us up out of the water!
