Psalms 107:29 He
calms the storm, so that its waves are still.
Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of Voice of the
Martyrs, was a Romanian Jewish Believer and an amazing man of God. He
spent 14 years in communist prisons where he was tortured brutally for his
faith and then lived to tell about it. In his book, The Oracles of God, he
writes about acquiring inner peace and tells the following powerful story.
During a tempest at sea when a ship was being
tossed to and fro by the angry waves, the wife of a naval officer asked her
husband, "How can you be so calm in such a storm?"
The officer drew his sword, pointed it at his
wife's breast, and asked, "Why are you calm and unafraid?" Surprised,
she protested, "Why should I be afraid? The sword is in the hand of my
husband who loves me too much to harm me."
Her husband smiled and said, "This is the
source of my calm, too. The wind and the waves are in the hands of my loving
Father. Why should I be afraid?"
Friend, the storms may be brewing ... they very well may be upon
us. You may be even going through a storm right now. But let's remember
that we're in the hands of our loving Father. He's right here with us and He's
going to get us through. So do not anxious about anything, and may the
peace that passes all understanding guard our hearts and minds these
days! For the Lord promises us, that He is with us until the end of the
age!
