So take courage! For I believe God. It will be just as He said.
These words of Paul were spoken during Paul's voyage towards Rome, when he and his fellow-travellers encountered a tempestous weather. Paul among the seamen was the comforter in the storm. Paul assured them, in the name of God, that their lives would all be saved, even when, in human appearance, all hope that they should be saved was taken away. He told them what ground he had for this assurance - the promise of God. Paul was confident that God will do as the Angel had told him.
Your Loving Father, who is the same God yesterday, today and forever more, will do just as He has spoken and promised. If you find yourself in a tempestous situation, in a place where from all human appearance it seems all hope is lost, take courage. The tempestous situation only comes to shake your faith and trust in God. He who has done it before can do it again. He will do just as He has promised. If you have not heard from Him, spend time in His presence, talk to Him, speak your heart to Him and read His word. Surely you will hear from Him.
Prayer: My Loving Father, I thank You for Your providence and preservation. I take courage knowing that You will do just as You have promised. Father, I pray for the ability to hear Your voice clearly especially when I get clouded by situations going on around me. In Jesus Name, Amen.
