Confidence in God

Confidence in God – Christ in the Storm

Confidence in God

A Reflection on Trusting in the One Who Calms the Storms

Introduction

There’s something whimsical about trusting in God. It’s like walking through a meadow while a thunderstorm brews on the horizon. Faith, in its purest form, is both profound and playful. It’s the steady hand that holds us, the laughter in the face of fear, and the assurance that the One who commands the winds is on our side.

The Whimsical Nature of Faith

Faith isn’t a rigid, stoic thing. It dances. Faith laughs at the impossible. It’s the songbird that chirps even when the storm clouds gather. In the Gospels, Jesus speaks of having faith like a child—a faith that trusts without reservation, that leaps without fear. Confidence in God is not about denying the storm; it’s about seeing the One who walks on the waves.

Finding Confidence Amidst Chaos

Life often feels like a tempest. The waves crash, the winds howl, and we wonder if we’ll make it to the other side. But God doesn’t ask us to calm the storm ourselves. He asks us to trust Him. Remember when Peter stepped out of the boat? His confidence faltered only when he took his eyes off Jesus. It’s a lesson for all of us: keep your gaze fixed on Him, and you’ll find peace even in the chaos.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10

The Beauty of Surrender

Surrendering to God isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s an act of profound strength. It’s saying, “Lord, I can’t do this on my own, but I know You can.” When we lay our burdens at His feet, we’re not giving up; we’re giving in to His perfect will. And in that surrender, we find a confidence that no storm can shake.

Conclusion

Confidence in God is a journey, not a destination. It’s a daily choice to trust, to step out of the boat, to laugh in the face of the storm. It’s whimsical, yes, but also profound. For in the end, it’s not about the size of our faith—it’s about the greatness of the One we place our faith in.
