Jesus cares about the storms you are facing and needs you to have faith to overcome
Christ, in your boat, means victory.
Jesus cares about you and me and if He is in our Boat we will surely get over our situations, just Believe, pray, and wait on him to wake up with your solutions. Cast your burdens, unto Jesus, for He cares for You.
If God does love us as the Bible claims, it is simple to question why things are so difficult.
Why don't things work out better for us, particularly when we put our trust in God?
We get a sight of God's perspective in the Book of Apostle Mark Chapter 4 discussed in this devotion.
Even though Jesus was in their boat, the disciples cried out to Him when they believed they were going to perish in the storm. Jesus did save them from harm. However, because they were terrified and failed to control the situation, Jesus queried His disciples. Why didn't the Lord intervene in the risky situation earlier? It is easy to answer. Jesus was hoping that His followers would practice the authority to overcome the storm.
MARK 4:37 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship so that it was now full.
Whenever we are in trouble, we all questioned whether God cares about us. God believes in His children. He wants us to mature, learn to assume responsibility and use the authority He has empowered us.
LUKE 10:19 19 Behold, I give unto you the power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
God taught us to resist the devil and all of his schemes, including anything that would rob, kill, or destroy. Why should God use His power to intervene when He has already taught us to do so?
JAMES 4:7 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Jesus has not abandoned you if it looks like He is not calming the storms in your life. He simply expects that you will succeed with your faith and the authority He has empowered you. Yes, Jesus loved you so much that He died for you. Don't doubt His love based on your situation.
PRAYER: My Jesus is concerned about me, and I will be rescued from all the turbulences of life! In Him, I have my refuge.
