"Yes, these sorts of people will never be shaken; the righteous will be remembered forever; they won't be frightened at bad news. Their hearts are steady, trusting in the LORD." (Psalm 112:6-7)
Like Paul in this chapter from Acts, when times are tough, when the waters rise and the winds are rough, we need to trust that God is with us. That the Holy Spirit is steering us...if we let her take the wheel. So often we have only one vision of what the "way out" looks like, and often, it is not the way God has planned. Faith means that through the good and the bad, we act on the belief that God will see us through it. That God will provide a way out. That God will insure that we are sustained and that our needs will be provided.
Christians are not to act out of fear, but out of hope. When the winds begin to blow and the waters start to rise, this is the time to sit still and listen for God's guidance in our lives. Listen for the whispers of the Holy Spirit. God will guide us through the dark waters and stay with us. Keep your heart steady.
