Heb.12:2 Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God Matt 11:28 Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. (29) ...and you will find rest for your souls
[Part 2 of 2] We need to believe in the Lord and not look at our environment or circumstances. Instead of looking at the storm, let us look at the resting Lord. Which will you follow--the storm or the resting Lord? We may even want to say to the Lord, "Lord, since You are resting, I shall rest with you. Let the wind blow. Because You are resting, I can rest with You." Often in our journey with the Lord we shall encounter a storm or a whirlwind. Then we may become distracted and forget the Lord's word and the fact that He is with us and is at rest. Are you able to say, "Lord, since You are resting, I shall rest also"? Let us all learn to practice this. According to the portrait in Luke, while we are taking the way ordained by the Lord, the Lord will be at rest, and the enemy will be busy. The evil spirits and the demons will be active to cause storms to frustrate us on our journey. We need to remember that actually this is not our journey; it is the Lord's journey, and we are journeying with Him. We are taking His way, and He is on the way with us. In fact, He is even in the boat with us. Instead of being troubled, we should have peace in the resting Lord.
