in control

As they sailed, He fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.

- Luke 8:22-24

 

There were some crazy storms around the United States last week, Hurricane Laura made landfall and left significant destruction in her wake. 

I wonder, if the storm that the disciples experienced was as crazy as a hurricane, if it was, I can sure understand how they might have felt like they were going to die. 

Check out the lyrics of this new song I heard:

From Heaven You can hear

I know You're drawing near

As I worship

Held within Your love

The wind and waves will come

But I will stay here

I lift my hands to Heaven

Here my heart surrendered

I tell my soul again

You are Lord of all

And though the seas are raging

You will speak and tame them

In You I find my rest

You are in control

Through valleys I will trust

Your spirit is enough, to keep me walking

You guide my every step

Speak life to me again

Lord I need You

Oh I need You

I lift my hands to Heaven

Here my heart surrendered

I tell my soul again

You are Lord of all

And though the seas are raging

You will speak and tame them

In You I find my rest

You are in control

I will trust in only You

No one can add to Your perfection

You're the beginning and the end

More than I can comprehend

There is no one like You

No one

God is in control.

Not me, not my family or my boss, just God.

If the storms and raging seas listen to Him, why don’t we?
