When waves of stormy trials threaten to drag you under, keep trusting God – he will bring you through.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada, and in the book of Acts, we read about a time when Paul faced a fierce storm. The sky was dark with rain, the waves began to crack his ship apart, and Acts says that “When neither sun nor stars in many days appeared… all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.” You get that? Everyone had lost hope, and yet Paul says to the sailors, “Men, be of good cheer; for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.” In other words, he trusted God and in what God had said. You don’t have to be an apostle like Paul to have great faith. You show great faith when, against all odds, you keep trusting God and his Word. So, when waves of stormy trials threaten to drag you under; when all hope seems lost, can you do it? Of course, you can. Keep trusting God.
