Pastor Dale Walker

Did you leave shore on a sunny, tranquil day only to find yourself in the middle of the "sea" in a storm that has you wondering if you will survive the wind, waves and rain. The fact is your circumstances may be getting worse and your doubts growing but I remind you (and myself) that in spite of our fears the Lord Jesus is not only on the boat with you, He is experiencing "complete peace"; so much that He was sound asleep in the back of the boat. His disciples came to Him and asked what He was going to do about the storm. They stood in front of Him soaking wet, scared to death and I think angry that He had not already taken care of the problem. If you find yourself in a storm that Jesus has not "calmed" I urge you to do what He did, speak to the storm. Tell the waves to stop, tell you rain to end, tell the waves to stop crashing against you, if they do not immediately stop; I say ask God for the "peace" in your heart until you "see the calm of the storm". One of the two things will happen because Isaiah 26:3 says "I will keep you in perfect peace if you will keep your mind on Me".!
