Episode 167 - Confidence During Storms

Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.The story is told that as the evangelist D.L. Moody was crossing Lake Michigan to return home after a preaching trip, when a great storm came up. The winds and waves were so strong that the passengers began fearing for their lives. While some gathered in an urgent prayer meeting, Moody remained sitting calmly. When someone asked him why he wasn’t joining in their prayers, Moody replied, “I have one sister in Chicago and one in Heaven and I don’t care which I see tonight.”Christians are not promised a life without troubles or hardships. We are going to face storms as we journey through life. Companies go under, jobs vanish, children get sick, friends betray us. All of these things are part of living in a fallen world, and Christians are not exempt from these trials.The difference for Christians is that we have someone to help us. We have a loving Saviour to whom we can turn for help.
