The Kingdom of Heaven is Like a Stormy Sea

A couple nights ago, we were just winding down our supper. Sharon was in the other room using the computer, Greta was down and playing and Michael, Matthew and I were still at the table. I had just put on a CD to listen to by Valor (www.valormusic.net). The CD begins with the song "Walk on the Water" asking "Jesus, won't you walk out a little farther for me?" Of course this was talking about the storm when Jesus was walking on the water. Matthew said something that had such wisdom. He commented, "Hey, that means to Jesus it was like a bridge." Wow. To Jesus, the storms in our life, the difficulties, the chaos and unceartainty, to Jesus are nothing more than a bridge. A bridge to come save us. A bridge to salvation on the shore. Have faith in your times of trouble. Those troubles are solid under the nail-pierced feet of Jesus.
