“THERE IS PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM”

“THERE IS PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM”
(Matthew 14:24- 33) “25- And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26- And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. 27- But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.”

The disciples were in the will of God. And in our text, it’s very clear that they were not spare from going through the storms of life. And this was different from what they went through in (Mark 4:35-41). When they were on the same situation in the book of Mark, Jesus was with them, but this time they were by themselves. And I believe it was God’s plan and we know that He was working in their lives even in the midst of the storm. We can read in this passage that Jesus walked on the water. Verse 25- “And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.” It means when something is going on in our lives, even in the midst of the storm; Jesus was there and He will be there walking with us. You’re not alone in your storms.
“Though troubles and difficulties may disturb us in our duty, they must not drive us from it; but through the midst of them we must press forwards.”
(Psalm 63:8) “My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me.”
