Trusting God in the Storm
On Sunday January 25 1736 John Wesley's Journal records his observation of Moravian missionaries. They were on board a ship bound for America when hit by a terrifying storm, most passengers were crying in fear yet the Moravian missionaries held a service and calmly sung praises to God. Wesley writes ‘From them I went to their crying, trembling neighbours, and pointed out to them the difference in the hour of trial, between him that feareth God, and him that feareth him not. At twelve the wind fell. This was the most glorious day which I have hitherto seen’. Following Jesus does not mean that we never encounter trouble, pain, fear, but we can learn to trust in Him, lean on Him and in faith know for ourselves the peace he longs to give us and that when he said he would never leave us or forsake us he meant it! What ever the storm we may encounter Jesus cares for us and is there with us, not looking from the shoreline.
Collect
Almighty God, you have broken the tyranny of sin and have sent the Spirit of your Son into our hearts whereby we call you Father: give us grace to dedicate our freedom to your service, that we and all creation may be brought to the glorious liberty of the children of God; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
