THE REASON WHY WE NEED TO TRUST GOD IN THE STORM
1.GOD ALLOWS THE STORM
Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that His disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while He sent the people home. Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.
Matthew 14:22, 24
note
God allowed the Disciples to be in the storm for His power to be seen.
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.
James 1:2-4
2.WHEN WE FEEL WEAK, GOD IS STRONG
Note
When we feel weak He is always strong, At our lowest, He becomes our highest.
Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
Matthew 14:28-29
I wrote to you as I did to test you and see if you would fully comply with my instructions.
2 Corinthians 2:9
3.EVEN WHEN TIMES ARE UNCERTAIN, GOD IS UNCHANGING
Note
Even in the storm He does not change, He is the same today and tommorow.
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
Psalms 46:1
4.THIS IS NOT THE END
Note
He declares the beginning to the end, Have faith and trust Him, Do not lean on your own understanding.
5.WE NEED NOT TO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF FEAR
Note
God does not give us a spirit of fear, He gives us power to stand in the storm.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:7
