Surviving the Storm

"Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, 'Lord, save us! We're going to drown!' He replied, 'You of little faith, why are you so afraid?' Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, 'What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!' -Matthew 8:23-27 NIV

I just read an article about a surge in the popularity of survivalist websites and the hoarding of provisions. The signs of the "end of the age" that Jesus spoke about long ago seem to be appearing with greater frequency and intensity over the last several years. Regardless, how does He want us to live and prepare?

Jesus told Nicodemus that we must be "born again" before we are able to see or enter the Kingdom of God. Have you experienced true spiritual death and rebirth? Invite Christ into your life. He will destroy all your preconceptions of what "is", and replace them all with Him...He is Truth, Light, Life and Love unbound! REMEMBER THIS: All the money, food, clothing, shelter and provisions in the world mean absolutely nothing without Jesus Christ in our hearts. His INDWELLING LOVE AND PEACE is more precious than ANYTHING we will ever possess in this world!

Pray for strength, perseverance and discernment every day. If you fall into sin, confess immediately and turn to the Lord for help and forgiveness. Remember always to call upon the Name of Jesus...He will lead you through every storm!

I love you.
