Prodigal:\u00a0 The water is so still.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I know the Lord has made it still.<\/p>\n

This is from the book\u00a0 Joy in Christ’s Presence by Charles Spurgeon<\/p>\n

Our Lord took His disciples with Him into the ship to teach them a practical lesson.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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,\u00a0 “Peace, be still.”\u00a0 Our Lord gave His disciples a kind of school lesson, and acted sermon, in which the truth was set forth visibly before them.\u00a0 Such teaching produced a wonderful effect on their lives.\u00a0 May we also be instructed by it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today this is about the Lord solving the battle for you.\u00a0 \u00a0He wants you to be still, and allow Him to work in your life.\u00a0 This will be about a testimony to show others how loving, and personal he is during our time of need.<\/p>\n

And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east:\u00a0 and his voice was like a noise of many waters:\u00a0 and the earth shined with his glory.\u00a0 Ezekiel 43:2<\/p>\n
