December 13: He who calms the storm.

Psalm 107:10-33:
Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and irons— because they rebelled against the words of God, and despised the counsel of the Most High, therefore He brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near to the gates of death. Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare His works with rejoicing. Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters, they see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep. For He commands and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves of the sea. They mount up to the heavens, they go down again to the depths; their soul melts because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. Then they cry out to the Lord in their trouble, and He brings them out of their distresses. He calms the storm, so that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet;
so He guides them to their desired haven. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people, and praise Him in the company of the elders. He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;


The day you find yourself in difficult circumstances that seem like storms of trouble and affliction, read this psalm. This is a very beautiful psalm. I hope you read it in its entirety so that you are filled with all the promises in this psalm.
You are going to notice a series of adverse situations that the people of Israel suffered in different stages of the history, but after each of these situations the phrase appears: “they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.”
Never forget that you are a child of God, called and chosen to be part of His beloved people!
It may be that your personal life and your home right now resembles that of a ship when it is in the middle of a storm, where the waves want to flood the ship or destroy it with the indomitable force caused by hurricane-force winds. Because for a while you had control of the rudder of your boat but at this moment it has gotten out of control, you no longer have the strength to maneuver your boat.
Remember verse 23 onwards, where it explains that those who sailed on the sea saw the mighty hand of God calming the sea and storms.
Several centuries after this psalm was written, One appeared on the face of the earth that several times He stood in front of the boat and commanded the winds and the waters to calm down.
Jesus Christ is the same God of Israel, and He came to show them that He fully understands what we are experiencing; however, He has the power over those difficult times.

Consider this:
Do you remember the last time you cried out to the Lord and He calmed your storm?
