Scripture:
Matthews 8: 26 "He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm"
Observation:
I think when things go well, that I say to myself I will follow God's faith and I will work to do his will. But at the end, we forgot his will and his purpose for us. I am so focus on what is going on right now at the moment and how to improve the situation, that I reluctant to forget that God is in control. No matter how much I focus to improve the situation on my own, it will not have the same outcome. My faith in God diminishes, when things go well in my life.
However, like now when things are all up in the air with no clear path of what the outcome will be like, I lean more towards God and his words. This is just like what God has said to the them who followed him, "men of little faith" I seek more of God's calling and work of his grace, when thing are trembling. Is this really right?
It seems like when things are trembling I become this faithful servant and seems that my heart and peace and therefore, God is listening to my cry.. He is stirring my heart for peace and comfort in him. Like these days, I been diligent and commit to listen to God's calling, because I am in much of suffering and will need lot of God's grace.
Application:
God should be my priority no matter what the circumstance in my life is. He should be praised and cry to during the good times and bad time. Praise him for the goods, and cry to him for the bad. Regardless of how much control I want to take in my life, understand God is in control and he will direct me to this or that path. If he thinks I am not being faithful he will lead me to direction which will allow me to come to him more. Our God is jealous God, and we need to sustain the consistency of listening and calling out to him.
Prayer:
Faithful Lord, thank you so much for another day of healing and blessing. Lord you are stirring my heart day to day to heal and see the brighter side of life. You have bless so abundantly with gifts and health. Through the outcomes in my life, you have stand by me and love me unconditionally. Father I take this time to thank you and to tell you I love you.
