Running with Jesus  

Acts 27:4  And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.

     You and I can count on after having a time of refreshing contrary winds will come. This is why times of refreshing are important and need to be done daily in our lives. When we do not prepare in the calm times we will be shipwrecked without a life jacket or a safety boat. The days ahead on Paul's ship are going to be tough. We will see how God was with him as he faced and overcame each challenge with his faith and relationship with God.

      For me there are many times when God will begin to prepare me for things coming. He loves us and will not leave us alone to run through life. Sometimes we are tested by a wipe out but He is always there with His hand reaching out to pull us back up. 

      So don't be surprised by rough winds, just stay prepared. Stay in the Word because sometimes we have to anchor down till they pass. The Word is filled with anchors for your soul! Here is one, Isaiah 43:2  "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."

Father, Thank You for our anchors when the winds are more than we can bear.  Help that one who is being tossed today let them learn to refresh daily and always put the anchors for their soul on board! 

Who do you believe? Join me in the morning!
