And it happened as if a voice spoke to him. “Why are you sleeping? Could you not stay awake with me for a bit longer?” His realization dawned and he awoke. This here is how I describe how I met something, which is powerful and directly from God’s lips himself! It was when Jesus and his disciples were on the boat at sea and the storm came upon them. One of them ran down and found Jesus sleeping and asked him “do you not care if we drown?” To which Jesus’ almost rebuttal was going to the storm and rebuking it when he said “Quiet! Be still!” and instantly it was calm. Jesus then turned and asked them “Why are you afraid? Where is your faith?” WHY ARE YOU AFRAID? WHERE IS YOUR FAITH? When I heard this I think of when I’ve gone to God and asked him why something was happening in my family or in my life. I remember one time when everything, in a week’s time that could go wrong did. So I asked him why. His rebuttal: It is my will. Then when something I was completely not prepared for came I asked him why again (you’d think I’d stop asking and getting my butt handed to me but no). So he responded with something else. “It is my will, you know that and now I will have you believe it.” Everything got better. I let God take the reigns. The message to me: I cannot manipulate, control or make every situation work out for me and I have no control. For it is not my will but God’s and I also learned my fear is that I do not know God’s plan so I must go, walk in faith unprepared for what will come but when it comes I will react to the situation.
