Just prior to the storm, Paul and his party were enjoying smooth sailing. Since we do not know when these storms will come, we must learn to have confidence in the One who is Lord over the storms. When we are living with in Him, we are braced for the storms that come. Someone has suggested five actions to take when you find yourself in one of life s storms. Since Jesus is Lord of all, even the storms, it is reasonable to trust Him.
Confidence is just another word for trust.
Just like Paul did, we learn to trust Jesus as we walk with Him. Paul had learned that Jesus is sufficient for any storm that may come. As we get to know Jesus, we will know that He is completely worthy of our confidence because he is faithful. Oh, that we could have the hymn writer s confidence for the storms of life. Leaning on the everlasting arms .
