Immediately he [Jesus] made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
 
–Matthew 14:22
 
I want you to think about today’s verse for a moment. Jesus made the disciples get into that boat, knowing that a storm was coming their way.
 
Yet Jesus didn’t send them into the teeth of a storm to be malicious or mean. He did it to help build the disciples’ faith! And by doing this, Jesus also showed that He was in complete control.
 
You know, outside of salvation itself, the most liberating, life-producing, joy-producing, peace-giving truth is the fact that Jesus Christ is sovereignly in control of your life. This means no matter what storm you’re in or what storm you’re going to be in (because you’ll always be in one of those two places), God has you there for a reason. 
 
So you can give Him thanks… not necessarily for the circumstance or the crisis itself… but for the Christ who reigns and rules in your heart and in your daily experiences. And you can thank God for loving you enough to be willing to send storms into your life to either perfect you or correct you.
 
There’s a song by Babbie Mason that says, “God is too wise to be mistaken, God is too good to be unkind. So when you don’t understand, when you don’t see His plan, when you can’t trace His hand, trust His heart.”
 
The same God who took you into the storm is the same God who will bring you out of it! So trust His heart… and His love for you… today.
 

OUTSIDE OF SALVATION ITSELF, THE MOST LIBERATING, LIFE-PRODUCING, JOY-PRODUCING, PEACE-GIVING TRUTH IS THE FACT THAT JESUS CHRIST IS SOVEREIGNLY IN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE.
