The Sea of Galilee is tempestuous. It is located amid mountains and storms can come over the hills unexpectedly and stir up the waters. One moment it may be calm and sunny and then the clouds come quickly and the wind picks up and a storm arrives. Life can be like that too. We don’t always see the storm approaching until we are caught in the deluge without our raincoat.
One such storm forced its way into my life a couple months ago when despite loving his job, my husband was unexpectedly let go. Up until then it had been a beautiful experience but we couldn’t see the clouds on the other side of the mountain and got caught.
Jesus, as he said he would, was there. He is still here. We invited Him into our boat and He calmed us. We are not afraid because He has told us over and over in the Bible and in prayer that we should not be. Our God is a God of hope. He is true to his word. He has asked people throughout history to trust in Him and He is faithful.
Just as Jesus calmed the storm and brought the disciples safely to land, He will do the same for us in the storms life throws at us. God is so good.
