It Is The Storm
How the storms of life frighten and weary us! How we seek to be delivered from them, or avoid them altogether! We are bruised by the tossing of the tempest and know not how we can make it through this storm. Then Jesus comes walking on the sea; using the very thing we wished to escape from to come to us. All his waves and his billows that come over us are bringing our Saviour, the Master of the Wind, nearer and nearer. There he is, in the midst of our storm, just as we are. He comes to us as we are, totally unable to steer our vessel to him, unwilling that we should be parted. And yet we ask to avoid of be delivered from the storms!? Ah, my friend, it is in the storm that Jesus comes to us, bidding us “be not afraid”.
It is the storm which brought him near.
“It is I, be of good cheer;
Look to me, my child; have no fear;
In the midst if your storm I am here.”
