God always tells you what you need to know.

[KeilanS]

Well, I am currently in a "storm" of sorts and I just prayed to God about it. So today I noticed my Worthy devotional in my inbox. Usually I delete them because I don't feel up to reading them, but I decided maybe God would speak through it today. Here's what I got:

Keilan, why be afraid?

Psalms 107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Richard Wurmbrand, a Romanian Jewish Believer and an amazing man of God, spent 14 years in communist prisons where he was tortured brutally for his faith and then lived to tell about it. In his book, The Oracles of God, he writes about acquiring inner peace and tells the following powerful story.

During a tempest at sea when a ship was being tossed to and fro by the angry waves, the wife of a naval officer asked her husband, "How can you be so calm in such a storm?"

The officer drew his sword, pointed it at his wife's breast, and asked, "Why are you calm and unafraid?" Surprised, she protested, "Why should I be afraid? The sword is in the hand of my husband who loves me too much to harm me."

Her husband smiled and said, "This is the source of my calm, too. The wind and the waves are in the hands of my loving Father. Why should I be afraid?"

Keilan, you may be going through a storm right now. But let's remember that we're in the hands of our loving Father. He's right here with us and He's going to get us through. There's so much work to be done!

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

I was privileged to meet Richard Wurmbrand - he stayed with my parents shortly after he was released from prison - must be about 40 years ago because I was about 14, as far as I can remember. I shall never forget two things: the scars on his body from beatings and torture while he was in prison, and how he cried openly when he sat down for tea with us. It was just sandwiches and a choice of cakes and a cup of tea, but he was overwhelmed by the plentifulness of what was to him a feast, yet was no more than our daily tea.

At school, each class would choose a charity to support every term. I went in to school the next day and gave a talk about the sufferings of Christians in the communist world, and asked my class to support Wurmbrand's charity - Mission to the Communist World. It was quite a departure from the usual type of charities we had supported - Oxfam, RSPCA, that kind of thing. And several other girls put forward other charities for our support. But against all my expectations, the whole class voted to support Richard Wurmbrand's charity - they were so moved by his suffering and the suffering of others like him.

Hope I haven't hi-jacked this thread, just wanted to share my memory of a wonderful man of God.

I will tell you there are times when you just want to go back to bed and when we need to stand up to that storm and command it to BE CALM!!! And sometimes you just are too tired. Ever hear that song about the weary battle worn christian at the front lines? Puts tears on my cheeks!!!! Thats when you call a prayer partner!

The wind and the waves are in the hands of my loving Father. Why should I be afraid?

Never have I felt such an overwhelming sense of peace than in these turbulent days we're facing lately. It's as though God is telling me He is close by and not to worry about anything. There are so many things that would have worried me years ago but not so today. Oh, how I love Jesus!
