Hmm. Here's a "fun" thing for me to put together: the section in Proverbs with my thoughts about the Matthew reading. So, I'm reading along, thinking of what I'll write about Matthew and "BLAM" the Proverbs hits me in the eyes...."be not wise in your own eyes." Spent time being guilty of that.
Here's the Matthew part. Jesus instantly calmed that storm. He could/can calm every storm, but He doesn't. I've had/have what I consider some pretty hefty storms, too. Several are ongoing. This is me, waving my hand shouting, "Calm THIS one! Calm THIS one!" He may be calming it, but it sure ain't instant.
Then Proverbs. Instant calming is what I want, what I think will be best. What I think. That trust thing again. I decide [again] to trust that good things will happen/are happening as a result of these storms. There are, of course, other people in this storm with me. But, for my part, I have strengthening to do, lessons to learn, protection to recognize.
