“The Lord comes to us in many different ways, beyond our imagination and expectation.” As the disciples' boat was being tossed about by a terrible storm, they saw Jesus walking on the water. They were so frightened that they thought He was a ghost. When He got into the boat, the wind calmed down. The disciples realised that they were in the presence of God.
How do we find God in the storms and struggles of our lives? The power of God is manifested in all sorts of ways in our lives, usually in ways that we least expect.
At such moment of trials, danger, threats, disappointments or sickness, we cried out to the Lord, “Lord, I’m drowning”. We hope to hear some encouraging word from the Lord, “Don’t be afraid,” or "don’t worry, you are going to be all right soon.”
Deviation comes from a lack of attention.
We take our eyes off from Jesus and that make us to sink! Circumstances may deceive us and frighten us.
Sure, Jesus will offer courage and hope. Stay focused on God. Fix your eyes on Jesus again. He will never desert you in the midst of the storm! He will never leave us to sink into the circumstances!
"Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help."
