listening to father’s heart
Son, do you remember when my Son told his disciples to get into the boat and go with him to the other side of the lake? Remember the terrible storm that suddenly arose? The disciples thought that my son was unaware of the storm because he was sleeping, and they feared for their lives. He concluded from his vantage point that they did not care about their circumstances. “But he was on his back, sleeping on the pillow. And they woke him up and said to him, ‘Teacher, don’t you care that we are perishing?'” (Mark 4:38). Son, don’t think that I don’t care if I can’t immediately calm every storm in your life. Storms help you understand your level of confidence and how to apply it. Let me take you not around the storms but through them. Storms teach you to overcome adversity. My son David understood this. So you should also do the same.
That same day, when it was evening, he said to them, “Come, let us cross over to the other side.” Mark 4:35
Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for war—Psalm 144:1
