What to do? Trust in God’s promise above and recall the time Jesus walked upon the waters and calmed the storms.




1 They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. Psalms 125:1 (KJV)

Sometimes life is like a violent storm at sea.  Your small boat is at the mercy of the wind, the crashing waves, the constant rising and falling with no end in sight.  One does not have to grow old in this world before one discovers that we have very little control over life’s negative events.  The wise prepare as much as possible to ward off the consequences of the storms of life.  Living on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico we’re aware that hurricanes are a reality and cannot afford to become complacent.  We can stock up on food, water, batteries, power generators, move to shelters and etc. to ride out the storm or we can evacuated to a safe distance from the coast.  One thing is certain, when the storm comes ashore we’ll have no control.  It is at these times of peril, uncertainty and distress that the wise rely and call upon God for deliverance.  The truly wise among us will not wait for the storms of life to come before crying out.

What to do? Trust in God’s promise above and recall the time Jesus walked upon the waters and calmed the storms.  He’ll do it for you too.

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)

Patience is really a prime element of successful living

"Patience is a Virtue" you've heard it said and it's one most of us neglect to seek. Patience is really a prime element of successful living. Good parents are patient parents, good cooks are patient, good teachers are patient, good fishermen are patient, good workers are patient and good Christians are patient. These persons know sometimes you just have to wait for the right moment for the elements of success to assemble themselves. Into each life trails will come but if we learn to wait and trust in God's Provision and Wisdom by faith our lives will be enriched with growth and knowledge. 1 James, a bondservant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad: Greetings 2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trails, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.  James 1:1-4 (NKJV)

We need not doubt; God is faithful.

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) Testimonials, promoting something beneficial to or for you don't just happen in church. Every TV ad, radio commercial and newspaper ad is aimed at getting your attention and convincing you to make a purchase or subscribe to something new. That is the way of commerce and we accept it as a part of living. Some testimonials you can believe, but remember most are aimed at profiting the one doing the promoting. Christians, the Church are also involved in promoting something they believe will serve to better you; the Gospel of Christ! Through the ages God has pro
