Have you ever ACTUALLY wondered how the "story" would have gone, if the disciples chose to remain at REST in the boat during the storm?
Exactly how far would the chaos have gone? Yet Jesus was adamant they should have simply trusted and "chilled".
I mean, how can simply trusting that Jesus is with you actually get you through a practical, literal, physical problem or period in life? Hahaha, SHABBA!!
I'll tell you!
As un-nerving as circumstances may be... as lengthy and as ruthless a "rough patch" might seem (sometimes you may even start seeing cracks forming, and water rushing onto your boat after you've said and done all things "holy") hahaha, there is still space to rest.
I encourage you, emmerse yourself into the pure Glory of HIS FAITHFULNESS.
Life isn't always fun, but it is possible to TRULY REJOICE during ANY circumstance (and that's no contradiction).
The secret lies in the nature of your trust:
If you are hoping and trusting for Christ to "break in at any moment now", your waiting will be filled with anxiouty, frustration and energy-sapping anticipation, until something good happens. And then the cycle starts over again.
But, if your trust in Christ is in the fact that He has ALREADY "broken in", and is currently "SLEEPING ON YOUR BOAT" right now (WITH YOU), you'll begin to see an increase in your ferver for living, and begin to "rejoice in all things"...even during those "cruddy" times in life!
Hahaha!!
Have a JOYFUL day :-)
