Week Two: 10/23-10/27
Psalm 93:4 “The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of
many waters, than the mighty waves of the sea.”
If
I’ll be honest, this week was rough. I woke up on Tuesday morning with a
swollen eye and as I write this on Thursday, it is only just beginning to go
down. My heart has felt far from the Lord; little things have begun to move me
and the adjustments of this new life have left me feeling alone. How can a time
that is so peaceful feel like a storm? Not quite sure how, but for a moment I
felt like Peter as he began to sink in the waters. The reason why he began to
sink was because he took his eyes off Jesus. I took my eyes off Jesus and
forgot why I was doing this. Nothing that I’m doing can be for personal gain
because if it is, I’m missing the whole picture. I forgot that I was doing this
for Jesus and for those He longs to be in relationship with. I forgot that I
serve the God that is higher and mightier than any storm that I’m in and it is
He who calms the storm. My prayer for this week has been that my eyes would be
fixed on the Lord and that distractions and feelings would not hinder me. Truth
is, this is just the beginning of one of the most incredible yet challenging
experiences of my life thus far. I know far greater challenges await me, but I
choose to trust the God of the storm. God promised me this verse and I choose
to walk in this promise: Exodus 14:14 “The Lord will fight for you, and you
shall hold your peace.” I have the peace that passes all understanding through
the Lord because I’m able to trust that He fights for me.
Application: Today
I will share this verse with my teammates and pray with them, that we would
truly walk in this promise.
