Joshua 18:1-19:51; Isaiah 13:1-22; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-18
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. Matthew 14:26
At first the disciples did not recognize the Lord in the storm. It was not that their vision was dimmed, but that their minds were dulled. May we not fail to recognize His presence in life’s storms. May we not fail to expect Him when He at last shall come again to take us out of the darkness and distress of this sin-sick world. Remember, He could return today! —W. Ross Rainey
O child of God, there is for thee
A hope that shines amid the gloom,
A gladsome hope that thou shalt see
Thy Lord, for He will surely come. —T. D. W. Muir
