Storms in life

Remember the story where Jesus walked on water and later commanded Peter to come to Him on water? Peter actually walked on water towards Jesus until storm came and he started to sink. In our lives, we are bound to have Struggles in our daily walk that sometimes violate our principles, Troubles in our work that sometimes we hardly have space to breathe, Obstacles that demand us to face them and not turn away, Relationships that are complicated to be comprehended, Money matters that seeks our immediate attention. Jesus says, "Take heart, for I have overcome the world. Peace, I leave with you."

When we have Struggles with ourselves pertaining our principles, we need to Seek into God's Word to gain wisdom just as how Solomon asked for when he was given the liberty to choose

When we have Troubles and trials of all kinds in our work, study, family, ministry whatsoever, we need to Trust in God's Word that He will still be by our side just as the psalmist says in Psalm 23, "Even I walk through the shadow, I shall fear no evil for you are with me."

When we have Obstacles in handling tasks, no matter how big or tough the obstacles are, all we need to do is to Open our eyes and see God bigger than all these and we will have personal breakthrough. God says "My grace is sufficient for you." The end of Man is always the beginning of God.

When we have Relationships conflicts due to misunderstanding or communication barrier, forgiveness is the key to victory. All we need to do is to Rest and be still and let God deals with it. God says be still and know that He is God and that He will rest our case. Jesus says forgive up to seventy times seven and don't let the sun go down while we are in anger. To err is human but to forgive is divine.

When we have Money matters that might burn a hole in our pocket, making our wallet thinner and thinner, remember God is our Provider. All we need to do is to Meditate on God's promises and claim them. His provision always comes in times we least expect them. All we need to do is Ask, Seek and Knock.

The only way to fight raging STORM in our lives is to call upon a greater STORM. All Jesus asks is for us to continue to fix our eyes upon Him and we will see all STORM around us began to subside, when the Lord of STORM comes.
