- Rescue from Storm
Psalm 107:28-30
Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble,
and be bringeth them out of their distresses.
He maketh the storm a calm,
So that the waves thereof are still.
Then are they glad because they be quiet;
So he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
The Lord promises to be a storm chaser and a calm maker. We have seen this miracle of Jesus on the boat with the disciples: “The winds and waves ceased and there was a calm.” (Luke 8:24). But it is the emotional storms and winds and waves of inner turmoil that very often need the Lord’s attention. We can believe He can bring us out of distresses and make the storm a calm. We have seen Him do it in the physical world and now we also believe He can do it in the inner world.
We get into trouble with our mind and emotions; we cry to the Lord; He brings us out of distresses; He makes the inner turmoil calm; we are glad; and then He brings us to the place of peace and calm where we want to be, safe and secure. He remembers our frame; He knows how weak we are; He is strong and knows the way out of troubles and distresses. Not only does He rescue us from evil and trouble, but He also places us in a safe haven where we can enjoy His presence worry free. Both sides of the coin, the rescue from the bad and the giving of the good, are represented in this wonderful promise.
