Maurice was on a bus ride to go watch the finals of the college basketball competition with some colleagues. On the way, their bus suddenly developed a mechanical fault and swerved uncontrollably. While every other person panicked and screamed, Maurice remained calm and began to speak in tongues. Shortly afterward, the bus came to a halt. His friends asked why he was so calm during their short ordeal, and he responded: “The one who’s born again never walks alone; Christ is always with me so I’m never afraid.” How true!
This brings to mind Paul’s experience in Acts 27. He was on a voyage to Rome as a prisoner when the journey suddenly got dangerous. While the other passengers were terrified that they would all lose their lives, Paul spoke up and reassured them of their safety. He said, “...I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship” (Acts 27:22). What confidence!
Like Apostle Paul and Maurice, you must be confident of who’s got your back as a child of God. Understand that the Lord Himself is with you in your journey through life. He said, “...I will be with you always, even until the end of the world” (Matthew 28:20). Even when danger looms, don’t be ruffled, because the Greater One is with you. By reason of His presence with you, no danger or storm of life can knock you out; you’ll surely come out of it unscathed.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for perfecting all that concerns me, and giving me a life of victory through the Word. My life is for your glory and praise, as I live to fulfill your divine purpose for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
