Ocean waves are chaotic, especially during a storm or high winds. They can be unpredictable, changing quickly from one direction to the other we can get so turned around we lose sight of where we need to be headed. Life is like this, and if we are not careful, we can get caught up in the current of distress, which leads to drifting along to nowhere. This usually happens when we take our eyes off of hope, lacking trust in what we believe, and genuine Faith in the Holy One, who knows the bigger picture. Our faith in hard times leads us to our true direction. Faith is the stabilizer that allows you to hear God over the roar of the changing waves, remain calm in the face of disaster, and gain the ability to go in the right direction in life.
Change is hard. Struggles and life’s difficulties are hard. Drowning may seem inevitable. However, not if faith is your lifeline. How are you navigating the waves in your life?
If any of you lacks wisdom, ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to you. But let him or her ask in faith,with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. James 1: 5,6
