GOD’S ANSWER! – Psalm 65:5 Devotional
Psalm 65:5
“By awesome deeds in righteousness You will answer us, O God of our salvation, You who are the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of the far-off seas.”
Once Jesus was surrounded by such a huge crowd of people so large that He got into a boat and sat in it and taught the people who were on the shore. That evening He told His disciples to take the boats to the other side of the lake.
In the boat Jesus went to sleep on a cushion and later a furious squall came up and threatened to capsize the vessel. Remember that many of these disciples were seasoned fishermen who had spent their lives out on this lake in all kinds of weather, but this particular storm threatened to overwhelm them. To the frightened disciples it seemed impossible that Jesus could sleep through such a storm, but He did.
The terrified men shook Jesus awake and announced they were about to drown. It is then that we read the quiet words of power in Mark 4:39: When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.
When we find ourselves in the midst of the storms of life we need to call on the One who is the Storm Calmer. We need to call on Jesus. He is the answer!
Blessings dear hearts. May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
