The Tempest

“Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.” Psalm 42:8 KJV

“By day the Lord directs his love, at night his song is with me - a prayer to the God of my life.” Psalm 42:8 NIV

When I woke up this morning there was a melodious chorus singing in my dream and waking up was like abruptly turning off my favorite song of praise. I didn’t want to wake up. I am sure my dream may have been prophetic, as I was in a place where people do not think the way we do here on earth and every breath and word is filled with God’s lovingkindness. 

Jesus told us not to worry.   And, when the storm came and rocked their boat and his disciples were filled with fear, what did Jesus say? 

He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Mt. 8:26 niv

Faith and love rides above the waves, instead of fearing the tempest. Fear and doubt will always rock your boat. 

Pray with me this morning:

Heavenly Father,

We call you Abba Abba, because you are our Father. We love you Father. Thank you for adopting us into your Heavenly family and calling us your children. Thank you for calling us the Bride, the Lamb’s wife, the Redeemed, the Church, the Branch, the Saints and the Flock. We are even the Temple of your Holy Spirit.  Thank you for sending us your only son Jesus Christ who paid the price upon the cross for us to receive forgiveness of our sins. You opened our eyes and set us free from all darkness. Thank you for bringing us into your light and giving us your truth. Thank you for teaching us how to love through your word and filling us up with your joy. Thank you for your goodness that touches our lives as we walk in faith.  Thank you for your Holy Spirit that gives us comfort and continues to walk with us throughout the day. Even by night Father, your Holy Spirit is with us. We know you are always with us. We rest in your hand. We rest in your love, your mercies and grace. Thank you Father for the great peace you’ve given to us in our hearts. 

We ask that you would use us in a mighty way Father to promote your glory, to strengthen those who love you, to cast your seeds upon fertile ground and bring hope to hurting hearts. We ask that all your lighthouses would boldly rise up and bring encouragement, healings, solutions and most important to scatter your love upon those most needed. Bring them up and send them out Father. Be our guide and be our words to be the world changers we are called to be and we ask in Jesus name. Amen.
