A Small Still Voice In The Midst of The Storm

24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!”
27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!”
28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”

Matthew 14: 24 - 31 (NLT)

Peter knew that Jesus could/would enable him to walk on water and yet he doubted Him in midstream and began to sink. Why do I talk myself out of faith so easily? Just because Jesus didn't calm the storm before or during Peter's walk on water, doesn't mean that Peter wouldn't have been able to continue walking toward Him.

The Lord's will is often a small still voice in the midst of a great storm.

PC is up against a great storm right now, but the small still voice tells me that His ministry at PC is far from over.

I'm sometimes confused and frustrated about being single or whether I'll ever be married, but the small still voice keeps telling me that He does have a husband in store for me even if I'm approaching 30 and haven't met him yet.

I'm nervous about the new ministry opportunities He has put in front of me and about the changes ahead, but the small still voice keeps reminding me that this is about Him, not me.

The weight isn't coming off as fast as I'd like it to even though I'm literally working my butt off, but the small still voice tells me to keep going, to make smaller changes over time, that it will be worth it in the end and that this time the change will be permanent.

In the midst of the storm, His small still voice calms my heart and restores my soul!
