He Is Greater Than The Storm!!!

And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright. But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!

THE DISCIPLES STRUGGLED for hours in the dark but could not beat the storm that threatened to take their boat down. How true that is to your own life experience. You struggle so hard with your work and problems that you lose your joy and peace. Yet if you look up through the waves of problems you find Christ walking straight over them to save you. The storm will pass if you take Him into your boat. Your peace will not give way if it is centered in Him. Indeed peace is not peace unless it remains in the midst of the storm. God promises to "fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith]" (Romans 15:13). The night may be dark and the waves real but Christ is greater than the storm.

As a writer or an artist its amazing how Gods gives us what we need to inspire us. We get our inspiration to create from a TV show, a movie, a book or commercial, a conversation with a friend or even an email from your cousin. This morning when I woke up, turned on my computer, the above was in an email from my cousin David with the subject, “To My Brothers, Keep Your Head Up!”
It was so appropriate because it accurately described my current situation. Like the disciples my family is currently going through a storm that threatens to take our boat down. And like the story from time to time we see the waves and start to panic and cant see Christ walking straight over them to save us. Like the disciples we too struggled to beat the dark.
But also like the disciples while we do have faith, its hard not to give in to what you see, when its coming your way. But for anyone of you that can relate and are going through the same thing, we must always remember that Christ is greater than our storm. He has always come through in the past. We struggle, we panic and then Christ comes through.
Now we must get to the point when we struggle, and we will continue to have trials and tribulations as long as we live, but when they come, we must not panic and remember Christ has always come through before. You are either, in a storm, just coming out of a storm or heading straight into your next storm. And as he has in the past, if you give in to the Lord, He will come through for you like He always has in the past.
My pastor always says God is going to ruin His perfect record on you. So next time, and believe me today’s testimony is preaching to myself as much as anyone out there, the next time you see the yourself in the storm, remember Christ is and always will be greater than the storm.
