Prodigal: The water is so still.
Me: I know the Lord has made it still.
This is from the book Joy in Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon
Our Lord took His disciples with Him into the ship to teach them a practical lesson. It is one thing to talk to people about our oneness with them, about how they should exercise faith in time of danger, and about their real safety in apparent peril. But it is another and far better thing to go into the ship with them, to let them feel all the terror of the storm, and then to arise and rebuke the wind and say to the sea, “Peace, be still.” Our Lord gave His disciples a kind of school lesson, and acted sermon, in which the truth was set forth visibly before them. Such teaching produced a wonderful effect on their lives. May we also be instructed by it!
Today this is about the Lord solving the battle for you. He wants you to be still, and allow Him to work in your life. This will be about a testimony to show others how loving, and personal he is during our time of need.
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. Ezekiel 43:2
