2 Chronicles 2-3, Proverbs 26:13-28, Matthew 8
What God said to me – We all encounter storms in our life, difficult times and circumstances beyond our control. The question is are you in the storm because you were following Me or because you went off on your own? The answer to that question should determine your mindset throughout your trials and your response to them. The disciples were in the middle of the storm because I got in the boat with them and told them to follow and they obeyed. When they cried out in fear, I rebuked them – they were with Me and following Me so their response should have been trust, not fear. However when you are in a storm because you went off on your own, you should be afraid because you are walking in disobedience. You need to cry out to Me, but in repentance and seeking My guidance to get you back into My will. Being in My will is the safest place for you to be no matter what is happening around you.
