Past Message From Matthew

Posted Date: February 6, 2008

A group of travelers were on a plane as it went through a violent storm. The plane was rocking and shaking, raising and dropping, and the passengers were becoming increasingly disturbed. Among the travelers was a preacher. This “man of God” who was expected to be a rock of stability and example of calm was becoming increasingly afraid himself. What words of strength could he offer to his fellow travelers in the midst of this dangerous and frightful situation? None, for he was too scared himself!

The preacher noticed a young boy sitting calmly in his seat, seemingly unbothered by the terrible storm. He said, “young man, I hope you’re not scared in this storm?” “Oh, I’m not,” said the boy, “ I’m not afraid at all.” the preacher pondered these words, and decided to ask, “well, son, why is it that you are not afraid?”

“You see,” said the boy, “My father is the pilot. And he promised to get me safely home. So I am not worried. I know my father will take care of me.”

You and I may confront many storms in life. Sometimes the violent crashes fall all around us, and we are tempted to be afraid. But we must remember, as Christians, that during our pilgrimage through this world, our father is in charge. He is taking care of us. He is watching over us, and He will see us safely home!

“...for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Timothy 1:12)

“Humble yourselves therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; Casting all you care upon him, for he careth for you.”(1 Peter 5:6-7)

“…he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” (Hebrews 13:5-6)….
