December 18
Running with Jesus
Acts 27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship
Storms can work for good! These men labored all night trying to save the ship. They wrapped ropes around it then began to toss things overboard.
When we are in a storm we seek God more and begin to do a self analysis. Confession begins and many will return to church if they have strayed away from God. Storms can be a wakeup call! Come to Jesus talk!
Sometimes the storm can be because of sin we need to confess or it could be because of another's choice. If it is our sin we need to cast it overboard and out of our lives and seek to return to our Heavenly Father. God can use this storm to cleanse and purify our lives. Our Faith can grow and after the storms we are stronger.
Father, we confess any sin separating us from You. We are casting it off and we are beginning a fresh run with You. We do not want to lose our ship! Help our faith not waver but let it increase.
Hopelessness will show up, in the morning!
