Happy birthday to you! 8 Pastor’s Page “It Is I” Or The Voice of Jesus in the Storm by Newman Hall (continued from last week) The evening on which the disciples embarked was calm and fair. The day had not been stormy—else the five thousand could not so comfortably have sat upon the grass at that miraculous feast. It was after the disciples had left the shore that "the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew." They therefore must have anticipated a safe and pleasant voyage. Thus how often do storms visit believers, when only calm weather is expected! The brightest beginnings are not sure harbingers of continued prosperity. The morning sun may be undimmed, but black thunderclouds may conceal his rays at noon. The finest day may be followed by the stormiest night; and the ocean, now without a ripple, may ere long writhe beneath the lashings of the tempest. Our dearest treasures may suddenly be taken from us, and our fairest hopes are withered in the bud. Sunshine and calm are treacherous-they cannot always last. Do not sailors expect encounter gales and tempest, and therefore provide themselves with anchors and all other things that may be of use in such emergencies? How foolish are they who voyage on the perilous ocean of life without the Christian’s hope “as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast!” We should be prepared for storms, that we may not be overwhelmed with surprise and terror when they come. But if Jesus is with us, the most terrific tempest cannot harm us. The profoundest calm is infinitely perilous without Him. Behold the frightened disciples in their storm-driven boat! They have to struggle with difficulties. The favorable breeze with which they weighed anchor has changed to an opposing gale. They have taken down their sail as no longer of any use, and they are now tugging at the oars! "They toiled in rowing, for the wind was contrary unto them." Moreover, the night "was now dark!" They were in danger too, for their little vessel was "in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves." Worse than all, they were alone; for "Jesus had not come unto them." Fit representation of the circumstances by which believers are still often tried. What contrary winds and tides have they to contend with! What darkness surrounds them! What perils threaten them! And sometimes, even Jesus seems withdrawn. The stormy gales of trouble blow from various quarters. ( to be continued…) Diana’s Desk A Time to Stand A Time to Walk The past is the most haunting chaser there is. It seems like it is always with you. You do something or say something awful and lookout! Sooner or later the regret and consequences of wrong doing start to work. The thoughts in your mind could be, "I wish I'd never said that, or I'd give anything if I could change it, or I wish I'd never done that." You've probably heard the old saying, "be careful, it will catch up with you or it will come back to bite you." For years you may have been living with regrets and not really knowing what to do about it. Not knowing there was a way to victoriously living without the guilt or shame or pain of the past. If this scripture in the Word of God can become a reality to you and not just words in a book, you can be set free from the past. God's word clearly says, "old things are past way, behold all things are made new." There is no condemnation to those who are IN Christ Jesus. The very sting of the consequences of our sin is taken away. It is because of the risen Lord we are free from the sins of our past. The forgiving power of Christ and the atonement of his shed blood have taken the power of sin away! You may say, I know this is in the Word, but ...? The condemnation and guilt is still haunting me. Then stop running. Your past can't chase you if you're standing still. When you stand, stand strong in the Lord. Refuse to let it cripple you. Refuse to let it cripple others. Do good to those who have hurt you or those whom you may have hurt. Here it is, forgive yourself. Ask others to forgive you. Bless them no matter what. As Christ forgives you, you must do the same. Christ is your redeemer, not your condemner. Guilt and shame will only bring sorrow. Through redemption, freedom comes. He paid the price for you to be free. If you don't feed into your past, it will have no power over you. So stop running from it. As long as you are running, it will keep on chasing. Stand strong in the Lord. Speak with a voice of victory and power and proclaim the newness of life that is yours. After you have done all you can do, forgive and ask for forgiveness, then walking away from the things of the past will be a victorious walk of faith. A walk you can do! Not looking back, but looking forward. This walk of faith will bring you continuous victory. Just remember, it is a daily WALK. Example: It wasn't until the children of Israel, when brought out of Egypt, stopped running, that their enemy was slain. You must know who your enemy is. Could it be yourself? By faith you can find that place where you too can stop running. A running slave never is really free.
