Oh no – a problem!

It’s so easy to be like the disciples in the boat when the storm came up: “Hey Jesus, wake up! Don’t you care that we’re perishing?” When a problem arises why do we think God doesn’t care? The ultimate expression of God’s care for us was His Son hanging on a cross, carrying all of our pains, sorrows, griefs and sicknesses. God’s promise is that He sets a table for us in the midst of our enemies, not in the absence of our enemies. If you want to eat from that table, you’ll find it in the midst of an enemy or two and probably surrounded by slightly more than a strong breeze. The promise is that in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us (Rom 8:37).
