There is a story of about a sea captain who in his retirement skippered a boat taking day-trippers to Islands . On one trip, the boat was full of young people. They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.
But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough, I attend to my ship."
Here is a lesson for us ......
If we cannot and will not seek God in quiet moments of our lives, we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic.
But, if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough.
A PRAYER A DAY KEEPS US MINDFUL
HOW MUCH WE NEED GOD ACTING IN OUR LIVES
HAPPY MOMENTS - PRAISE GOD.
PAINFUL MOMENTS - SEEK GOD.
QUIET MOMENTS - WORSHIP GOD.
DIFFICULT MOMENTS-TRUST GOD.
EVERY MOMENT - THANK GOD.
HOW TRUE
