Reflection on “When The Tempest is Raging”
In moments of turmoil and uncertainty, we can take refuge in the assurance that Jesus, the anchor of our souls, is with us always.
Life can be tough, and when it gets crazy and everything feels like a huge storm, there is one thing we can count on: Jesus.
(Matthew 8-26)
When Jesus calmed that wild storm in Matthew 8:26, it’s like He’s saying, “Don’t worry, I got this.” And guess what? He’s still got us today.
In Philippians 4:6-7 Paul tells us not to stress out but to talk to God about everything.
He says when we do that, even when things seem out of control, we’ll find this crazy peace that doesn’t even make sense. It’s like a shield around our hearts and minds, thanks to Jesus.
So, what does this mean for us?
Well, it means we’ve got to trust Jesus no matter what. Even when life feels like a rollercoaster, He’s our rock.
We’ve got to live out our faith, not just by saying we believe in Jesus, but by living like He did – with love, kindness, and compassion.
Beloved, we’re like these little lights in the dark world, showing others what Jesus’ love looks like. Even when stuff gets tough, we keep our eyes on Jesus. We don’t try to figure everything out on our own because we know He’s got a plan.
So, let’s remember: when life feels like a storm, Jesus is our calm. We hold onto His promises and live like He did, shining His light wherever we go.
And guess what? That crazy peace He gives us? It’s real, and it’s for us, even when everything else feels like it’s falling apart.
Blessings..!
