“And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea,
Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”
Mark 4:39
There will come a time when we all have to face a storm in our lives. It may be a financial crisis, a health crisis, or a relationship crisis. The question is, when you do have to face it, are you prepared for it, or will you be overwhelmed by it? You may be facing one right now and wonder when this storm will end.
“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours,…”
I Corinthians 3:21
There will be times when people will mistreat you. People who you think are your friends may reject you. Family members may even look down on you or take advantage of you. You don’t have to allow their negative sentiment against you to take away who you already are.
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion,
seeking whom he may devour. Resist him,
steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”
I Peter 5:8-9
If you knew that a robber was about to break into your house and steal your property and try to harm your family, what would you do? You most likely prepared yourself with the appropriate security system to prevent him from breaking in.
