Sometimes a Fresh Start leads to building a Strong Faith. Other times, building a Strong Faith leads to a Fresh Start.
Matthew 8 - Just Starting Out
- When we start our faith journey and with the newness of our relationship in Christ, He leads us into the boat and we follow Him.
- We might think he is "sleeping" from our natural perspective when the storms rise. But the Word says in Psalms 121:4 ... "the God of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps." He is so close by that we can just tap on His shoulders and ask Him to save us. Don't be afraid of being destroyed, He is so close to us. He is so close at this point because He knows that when the storms rise, we might fall back into our old ways of finding solutions, safety nets, rescue plans, etc... instead of turning to Him.
- In the early stages of our faith journey, when he performs the miracles and quiets the storms in our life and gets us through the situations, we might wonder, "Who is this God?". But as we continue to see the faithfulness, power, and work of God in our life and all around us, we start to build our faith in Him.
Let's build up our faith in Christ and believe that no matter what comes our way, that our life is in His hands. The trials we go through now is to build that faith in Him and so He can quiet these storms and give us a fresh start.
Enjoy The Ride,
Cecil
