Life is often full of powerful storms that try to wash you into the angry sea. God is the only one who can calm the raging winds. When the storms of life try to carry you into the deep sea, trust God. . .
Perhaps your road has not been easy but, looking back, you see God was always there. How many times have you fallen, only to have Him pick you up?
When you can’t depend on others, and maybe don’t even trust yourself, you have a trustworthy, rock-solid Savior. Forever He’s the one you can always depend on. . .
If you’re walking through a trial right now, trust God. Even if you don’t feel it, speak it. Consider saying these words out loud: “Lord Jesus, even though I don’t feel it, I’m choosing to trust You.
If you are facing your own “flood” in life—unemployment, loss, disappointment, or depression—God is your portion. Your joy is found in Him, not your circumstances. . .
Nothing is wasted, not your victories and hard work, your sins or pain or attacks from others. He fashions every part of your life for your good and His glory. . .
Endurance in trials comes not from an immediate alleviation of your circumstances but the expectation that you will see the character of the One who holds you fast. . .
As tempting as it is to put on a brave front and swallow your pain, don’t withhold your lament from the Lord. . .
Maybe pain is running rampant in your life or you are looking at what’s happening in the world and wondering where God even is. But He’s here, and He’s powerful. . .
God is a place of safety: Like a protective mother bird, He covers you with His feathers; as the Deliverer He rescues you from traps and dangerous diseases. . .
