Christ Calms A Storm

 Isaiah 26:3-4.   
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed 
on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the 
LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH 
is everlasting strength:"

    It is a comfort to those who travel by sea in ships, and are sometimes in danger, to reflect that they have a Savior to trust in and pray to. Who knows what it is to be on the water, and to be in storms.  All who are passing with Christ over the ocean of this world, must expect storms. 
    Christ' human nature, was like ours in every way "but sin."  He was wearied, and slept at this time to "try the faith of His disciples"  They, in their fear, came to their Master. It is the same in our soul; when lusts and temptations are swelling and raging, and we run to God. Will God be asleep to your call, if so this brings things to the brink of despair. Then you cry for a word from His mouth, Lord Jesus, Be not silent to me, or I am undone. Many that have true faith, are weak in it. Just as Christ disciples were during that raging storm on that ship.
    Christ' disciples are apt to be disquieted with fears in a stormy day; to torment themselves that things are bad with them, and with dismal thoughts that they will be worse. Great storms of doubt and fear in the soul, under the power of the spirit of bondage, sometimes end in a wonderful calm, created and spoken by the Spirit of adoption. They were astonished!      
    My Friends, They never saw and we never will see a storm such as this, turned at once into a perfect calm. He that can do this, can do anything which encourages confidence and comfort in Him during the most dangerous stormy day. 
Amen!
