Ephesians 2:7 - in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Have you ever blown things out of proportion and got angry with God when you were going through a trying time? This happened to Jesus’ disciples when a storm hit them hard. In their fear of drowning, they cried out to Jesus, who was getting some much-needed sleep in the boat, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” (Mark 4:38)
For accusing Him of not caring, you would think that they received a rebuke from Jesus. But it was the wind which received His rebuke, and a great calm followed. (Mark 4:39) Because of His tenderness toward His own, Jesus did not take offence. Instead, He wasted no time taking care of the problem that had caused His disciples so much anxiety and fear.
Your heavenly Father sees you trying to stay afloat when you are in the midst of a storm. He wants you to know how tender His heart is toward you, how He is not offended by all the negative things you have ever said. So let go and experience afresh the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward you!
Thought for the day!
In the midst of your storm, Jesus wants you to know that He wants to help you and He will help and bless you.
