PEACE IN A PUZZLE


Listen Later

There are things in your life trying to tear you apart, piece by piece.


Mark 4, Jesus says to his disciples let us go to the other side and a storm breaks out

professional fishermen were terrified Jesus was asleep and guess what, the devil will make you think sometimes that God is taking a nap on you and theologically you know it's not true but experientially your emotions can kick in to make you believe so against your theology

and these guys are in the will of God - obeying the words of Jesus, in fact traveling with Jesus himself and a storm breaks out

and then they went to Jesus to say, hey don't you care that we perish


Jesus wakes up and the first thing Jesus says to them is, oh ye of little faith

Jesus says, the problem is not the absence of faith, the problem is that your faith is little, little because you have forgotten

what did they forget - He told them let us go over to the other side and when Jesus said that

the implication of that is, they are not just traveling with the boat on water they actually traveling on his word and with Jesus himself


And it's easy for us to say amen to the promises of Jesus

it's easy for us to say amen to the sermon He preached

these guys freaked out when they got into the experience of it

how many times in our lives do we say amen to his words but we freak out when the experience of it comes

people want miracles. They believe God is a miraculous God but they freak out when they get into circumstances that necessitates a miracle

even Peter forgot that at some point in his life, He said to Jesus "at thy word "


Now when God says something, He means it. Even when there are interruptions in the process

most times we expect a smooth sail when God has made a promise to us and God didn't promise us a smooth sail

He promised us an expected end and Jesus says oh ye of little faith because they panicked in their problem


His word is your peace in the puzzle, His word is your peace in the puzzle

when you can't figure it all out God's word is peace in the puzzle


One of the dividends of salvation is that we now have peace with God but God also wants us to have the peace of God

and the peace of God is a product of peace with God

when you're saved you not only get peace with God you also have access to the peace of God

and the peace of God is our peace with God registering in our various footsteps movement and directions in life

so you can take God's recommended posture in every circumstance so that peace with God can be peace of God


Have a blessed day friends!!!
