Proverbs 28:14
That makes absolutely no sense!
It’s like, “I’m so happy because I’m so afraid all of the time!”
Wow! Talk about religion using the guilt trip! Therapy here we come!
Hang on… this is a Proverb, and these proverbs usually have a contrasting part in each verse… “Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.” Proverbs 28:14
Matthew 14:24
It’s not a matter of “Will we have a storm in our life?” It’s a matter of when and how big is the storm.
“the ship was now
in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves”
The disciples found themselves in a boat in the midst of the storm, and they were in the boat because Jesus told them to get in the boat! Verse 22
Psalm 121.2
Here David was struggling with life, with the world, the flesh, and the devil and he was just making the statement… “My help cometh”. A statement by faith, in faith, with confidence in His Lord and his Shepherd…
“My help cometh”
“My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Deuteronomy 32.27c
Nearly every time I read this verse I must go back and read it again because I think I must have read it wrong!
The context is, What happens to the people of the Lord when they turn their back on their God… Well, things go bad… then things go from bad – to worse!
But as bad as things might get, people often look around and say “…and the Lord hath not done all this.” It’s bad luck...
…just unlucky.
