He calms the sea
Deborah-Leigh:
Hello Dwight
I see your post jam packed with wonderful and uplifting scriptures!
“He knows the end from the beginning…”Isa 46 : 10 Declaring the end and the result from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure and purpose.
“….and works all things after the council of His own will.” Phil 2 : 13 Not in your own strength for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you, energizing and creating in you the power and desire, both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. 14. Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining against God and questioning and doubting among yourselves…
“….not letting us bare more than we are able” 1 Cor 10 : 13 For no temptation, no trail regarded as enticing to sin, no matter how it comes or where it leads, has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man, that is, no temptation or trial has cone to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience and such as man can bear.
“….but will always making a way for us to escape. “ 1 Cor 10 : 13 But God is faithful to His Word and to His compassionate nature, and HE can be trusted not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength or resistance and power to endure,….(We have a beyond our ability strength, resistance and power. God doesn’t have anything beyond HIS ability, strength, resistance or power! 2 Cor 9 : 8 And God is able to make all grace come to you in abundance, that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation. I see Ray’s e-mail responses and teachings in this league!) 8)
“…. but will always making a way for us to escape.” 1 Cor 10 : 13 …but with the temptation HE will always also provide the way out, the means of escape to a landing place that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently. Rev 3 : 8…I know your record of works and what you are doing. See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut………….
I believe Ray too and Bible truths has stepped over the threshold of this door that no one can shut!……….and I join you in gratitude and deep thanks and reverential dependence on God for His Son who shares His strength and through love HIS inheritance with God’s children.
Peace to you

To add to this;
Mathew 14; 28-32 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
I admire Peter's courage to even try to walk on water, to be with Jesus. At least he took those first steps, and even though he began to fall, Jesus did not let him sink. Oh, our beautiful saviour indeed.
Love to all, Lisa

Hello Anne
I felt what you are saying.......and then this scripture came to mind.
Luke 12 : 32 Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Peace to you

Hi Dwright,
--- Quote ---God gets us to the point where we are desperate and with no way out....and then when it seems all is lost, we call on Him to save us and He does...every time.

I really like how the scripture Darren provided goes with this.
Psa 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Things that we are going through can be scary, just like the disciples were frightened by the waves. But God has always been there and knows exactly what is going on with us, and when we need it He will rescue us. So we should, "Fear no evil."
Hi Anne, it is a help for us to come to an understanding as to why we are going through so many trails.
When we come to realize it is all of God and He will see us through it, then we can more fully comprehend, "fear no evil."
Hi Lisa, that is a significant part of this parable. It was Jesus who compelled them to go into the Lake, it was Jesus who waited to come until it got really bad, and it was Jesus who came walking on the water to save them. The sea was still raging when Jesus was walking on it, but He did not have any trouble walking over it, as today the sea is still raging. But when Jesus tell us to come, just like when a mother tells her little one learning to walk to come, we must have faith and not be fearful.
1John 5:4 Because, whatsoever hath been born(begotten) of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world—our faith.
And yes Arcturus, Luke 12 : 32 "Fear not little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
mercy, peace, and love

Arcturus,
I liked your Scripture, I would imagine the Savior saying lovingly and tenderly as he reassues me that Scripture. I sat at the screen and read it for awhile, and am making it into an index card to put on my mirror and front door. I needed to be reminded of this and this goes into what Kat replied to me,
Kat,
If I could keep it in my mind that God does have great plans for me, plans to prosoper me and my good at heart, well then the trials would be a piece of cake. I am in the middle of a paradigm shift right now. It is going to be very interesting to see where this takes me in my walk with Christ.
Thanks ladies for all you do and your posts on this forum. They are a great blessing for me.
Sincerely,
Anne C. McGuire
