If He said it I believe it

There are times in life when God says to do something and things come up and we get fearful of what God wants us to do and if we can do it.

The disciples understood this in Luke 8:

22 Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23 But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
24 They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
25 And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?

1.  Jesus told them that they all should go to the other side of the lake.  They had the ability because they launched out in a boat. 

2.  Jesus fell asleep.   Sometimes in what God tells us to do it seems as though He is asleep and not concerned about us.  We feel alone.

3.  A storm breaks out.  As we are heading in the direction God wants us to go, we face storms that seem to overtake us.

4.  When we get to a desperate time, Jesus will step onto the scene and calm our situation.

The next time God tells you to do something, remember if He told you to do it just do it, He will be with you the entire way.

Thank you Lord for being there every time I needed you. Thank you for when you told me to do something that you were always there.  Help me to keep my faith in you despite my situation.
