Good Morning Garden

A young man was worried about paying for his final year of college. A benefactor, hearing of the young man’s plight, sent a note through the mail that said, “Don’t worry–you will graduate.” In the midst of his dire financial circumstances, the young man failed to remember a principle: When a person with power and resources speaks, the results are certain.

The disciples of Jesus discovered this truth when Jesus directed them to cross the Sea of Galilee and a storm arose. The disciples were in great fear, forgetting it was Jesus who said they would “cross over to the other side” (Mark 4:35). They were in the center of God’s will while experiencing threatening circumstances, forgetting that God’s will is the safest place on earth to be found. One with power and resources had said they would arrive on the far shore, and they did.

The next time perilous circumstances arise in your life, remember that no circumstance shall keep you from fulfilling God’s will.

Isaiah 54:17   “No weapons formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.

I will sing to my Lord as long as I live, I will sing

praise to my God while I have my being.

What does it mean to have safety. Does it mean we will be free from danger or peril. In the physical world we may think so. But true safety, the certainty that we will arrive at our true destination, may mean facing very perilous circumstances. But we are assured that following God’s will is the only way to ensure our true safety.

When, by following God’s way, we find ourselves facing danger or trouble, we can feel totally safe because God, the only true power, has got our backs.

Backed by God,
