Different Storms #RTTBROS #nightlight Anchored or Adrift: Obeying God's Voice in Every Storm "And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm." - Matthew 8:26 (KJV) "God told Noah to go into the boat. God told Peter to get out of the boat. Different storms require different levels of obedience." Life often feels like a series of storms, each one unique and challenging in its own way. As believers, we're called to navigate these turbulent waters with faith and obedience. But what does obedience look like when the storms of life are raging around us? Consider Noah and Peter, two men of faith faced with very different circumstances: 1. Noah's Obedience: Enter the Ark God commanded Noah to build an ark and enter it with his family and the animals. This act of obedience seemed foolish to others, but it saved Noah and his family from the flood. "And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation." - Genesis 7:1 (KJV) 2. Peter's Obedience: Step Out on the Water When Jesus called Peter to walk on water, obedience meant leaving the safety of the boat and stepping into the unknown. "And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus." - Matthew 14:29 (KJV) In both cases, obedience required trust in God's voice and a willingness to act, even when it seemed illogical or frightening. Reflection: 1. Are you facing a storm in your life right now? 2. What is God calling you to do? Is He asking you to enter a place of safety, or to step out in faith? 3. How can you cultivate a heart that's ready to obey, regardless of the nature of the storm? Prayer: Lord, grant me the wisdom to discern Your voice amidst life's storms. Give me the courage of Noah to enter the ark when You call me to safety, and the faith of Peter to step out onto the waters when You beckon me. Help me trust that Your commands are always for my good, even when I don't understand. In Jesus' name, Amen. Remember, our obedience isn't about perfectly predicting the outcome, but about trusting the One who commands the wind and waves. Whether God is calling you into the boat or out of it, know that He is with you in every storm. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
