In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me. Psalm 86:7
Weekly Quote
It is the trial of our faith that is precious. If we go through the trial, there is so much wealth laid up in our heavenly bank account to draw upon when the next test comes. Oswald Chambers
Weekly Thought
Paul knew something about storms. A man of the world and accustomed to international travel before and after his conversion, he experienced plenty of rough waters and on one occasion was shipwrecked. (See Acts 27:39-44.)
On this occasion, Paul and his shipmates had a very specific message from God: obey and you will be saved. Every single person made shore aliveeven if the ship itself was torn apart.
When the waters we are sailing on grow turbulent, its easy to get our eyes off what matters and try some desperation moves. In financial storms, some have stolen and swindled; in relationship storms, some have been unfaithful; in storms at work, some have falsified reports and cheated on margins. The only sure way to get safely to shore is through simple obedience to Gods will for our lives.
Lord, give me even greater resolve to do what is right when storms rage around me. Amen.

This is fantastic reading and I especially love this part, so so true.
