“Peace be still!”

“It’s something at how worry comes to us in waves at times..and at how we as well sometimes hop on that train of worry when it comes down the track so to speak to us and our lives..and I really don’t know why at times it is so easy to hop on board and take on off down the track on that train just worrying and fretting about life and the current situations and or problems that we may be facing at this present time and moment in our lives..Amen..and it’s not so much that we worry..but we as well begin doubting and not believing in the Lord to help us or to take care of us in the midst of the troubles or trails that may be there..Amen..kind of reminds me of the disciples while there on the boat with Jesus..and at how the Lord goes to rest in the midst of the storm that was raging all around them out there on that ocean..Amen..how He wasn’t bothered by any of it..Amen..but boy oh boy those disciples of His just like us at times..began doubting and telling Jesus..wake up Master..do you not care that we are going to perish?..Amen..come on guys..isn’t that us?..we do the same thing..we will rush about worrying..and asking the Lord maybe not completely out of our mouths..but in our minds and hearts..we say the same thing at times..Lord do you not care?..do you not see?..Father are you just gonna let us perish?..are you just gonna let it all fall apart?…isn’t that right?..isn’t that as well what we do?..I believe the answer is yes..Amen..but what happens out there in the midst of that wild and crazy storm that was raging and howling and overtaking the boat with so much water I’m sure rocking it back and forth..I couldn’t imagine how they must’ve felt..and the bad part was that the disciples walked with the Lord..Amen..they seen all of the miracles that our Lord had done..Amen..so they knew that He alone was well able to do anything..Praise the Lord..but isn’t it funny that we just like the disciples seem to forget ‘ALL’ the miracles that the Lord has done in our lives when the heat is turned up just a bit..Amen..but after scurrying around losing their minds pretty much..overwhelmed by the storm..they get to Jesus and they wake Him up..Amen..and what does the Lord say to them..well first He wakes up and He turns towards the storm that was raging out there on that ocean..and He rebukes the wind..and He speaks to the sea peace be still..Amen..and the wind ceased the word of God says..and there was a great calm..Praise the Lord!”

“But then He turns towards His disciples just as I’m sure He as well turns towards us..and He says to them..why are you so fearful?..and He says to them how is it that you have no faith?..Mark 4:37-40..Amen..and I don’t know about you all but at times we lose our faith ever so quickly..we let life and people..and storms and situations and finances..jobs..school…news..social media..it seems we let everything in our lives destroy the person of Christ that we should be..Amen..we can’t let others know peace when we ourselves are unsure about it all..about our own circumstances..but I do think that when we pray..and when we keep Jesus at the center of it all..and we stay close to our Father..in communion with Him..than we as well know the heart of our Father..we know that God is with us..and that God always works it all together for our good..whatever the problem may be..for He is faithful..Praise the Lord..so we are safe and secure in our Lords hands..Amen..so take your burdens to the Lord and leave them there with Him..and have a wonderful day..everyday of your life..trust the Lord..Amen..don’t get caught up in being overwhelmed..by what everyone else is saying all the while missing to hear all that our Father is saying..Praise the Lord..for you see the enemy may mean it all for our harm..but God..Amen..always means it for our good..and He alone always brings it too pass..Genesis 50:20..Amen..for if we don’t help ourselves to stay sane..than we won’t stay sane..we will lose our minds..right along with others and this ole world and it’s ole ways..Praise the Lord..so we trust in God..we trust and build and stand with our Father..were not shaken by storms..by drought..by the enemy..because we belong to Jesus Christ who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords..and we trust in Him and Him alone always and forever..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
