Continuing in Matthew 8, where I halted last night, the Lord spoke that word to me this evening.

Matthew 8:23-26

MT 8:23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

MT 8:26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

MT 8:27 The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

The Greek word used for tempest is "Seismos", which is basicly, a commotion wherever you may find it. If it is on land, it is an earthquake. On sea, it could be a tidal wave or hurricane.

We find Jesus asleep in the midst of this seismic event, and yet, the Lord just quickened this scripture to me: "He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps." The God part of the God/man Jesus was not asleep. The man part was asleep.

There are certainly times when, to our human nature, God seems to be asleep and absent from our trials, but God is with us in the storm and the shaking.

Many things are being shaken in our lives right now. God has allowed it. He is with us through it. He may be silent, but He is not asleep. He is with us. He will never leave us, nor forsake us. The time is coming, and now is, when all that can be shaken, will be shaken.

Uphold us in thy right hand oh Lord. My God is my refuge, My God is my fortress, My God, in Him will I trust, In him will I trust. He is my dwelling place and my help in time of need. My shield and buckler is He. A mighty fortress against the foe and a two edged sword against the adversary. He is the strength of my right hand, the sight of my eye and the hearing of my ear. Oh, praise the Lord, you His people...Praise the Lord.
