Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’
Life can be so overwhelming; it can seem to be moving through one obstacle course to another. Can you relate to that? While I find myself with these feelings on a regular basis, there is something to remember...we have a God who is sovereign and in control.
This God is also a God who loves and cares and will never let us perish. John Calvin once said:
“Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.”
Father I thank you that you are God and we are not! Thank you that you are our Pilot and nothing will ever separate us for your grace and love. Amen.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Grace and Peace!
