4 Storm Survival Strategies
Stay on the Ship
When you’re in the midst of a storm don’t pretend like everything is ok when it’s not ok
acts 27
They started off by praying for daylight - seeking God, but by verse 30 they were ready to jump ship!
Someone needs to hear - “stay on the ship!”
Someone is ready to bail on their marriage, you need this - stay on the ship!
Someone is ready to jump ship from something that they need to stay on!
Ive been praying, fasting and it seems to be getting harder, or worse!
I’m ready to bail!
Sometimes it takes more faith to stay than to leave!
Some say, “God told me to leave” and that is true, at times he does.
But there are times that God says “stay on the ship!”
Gal
Sometimes God is shouting to us:
“If you stay on the ship nobody will be lost!”
First survival Strategy:
Stay on the ship!
Sometimes when you don’t know what to do you need to continue doing what you last knew what you were supposed to do!
Stay on the ship!
acts 27
They completely abandoned themselves to God.
Sometimes we need to cut the rope!
Old habits - cut the rope!
flirting on facebook - cut the rope!
Going back to hang out with old friends - cut the rope
and be faithful to God in the midst of the storm!
Be Still and Chill
Get some rest, take a break, it won’t make a difference if you worry
acts 27
You’re in the midst of a storm - take a break!
Get some rest so get some food and rest
luke
Worrying, stressing out only produces only bad in our lives.
I wish I were speaking from a position of mastering this- but I am in need of these truths more than anyone!
a few years back my blood pressure was over the top.
they put me on medication and told me to do whatever I needed to get less stress in my life.
We all have had to face storms and will continue to face storms - we must learn the fact that stress and worry does not produce anything good!
what does God say to us?
Sometimes the best thing we can do is Be still and chill while in the midst of the storm
Praise God in the Storm
We all - in the middle of the storm - need to be the kind of people who say “Praise the Lord”
Anyone can praise the Lord when everything is going good
The star athlete being interviewed after the championship
the movie star or musician when they receive the award
Anyone can praise the Lord then!
YET I WILL PRAISE GOD
My marriage is not going great - yet!
I will praise the Lord!
My kids are going haywire at home - yet!
I will praise the Lord!
At work everyone it going nuts! -Yet!
I will praise the Lord!
Sometime you have to praise through until you get a breakthroug!
Don’t let a storm silent your praise
Praise God in the Storm!
God Can Take You to Your Destination on Broken Pieces
can you imagine being on this ship?
Have you ever been there before - in life
things aren’t coming together, they’re breaking apart!
finances breaking apart
health - braking to pieces
family - I go to church but it seems like it’s falling apart!
Have you ever been in the place where you’ve been in a storm and your emotions are breaking apart!
people hurt you
I never thought I’d be in this place in my career - yet it’s falling apart!
You set sail in life
in family
in school
in business
and all you have left is broken pieces
People of Trinity - God can take you to your destination on broken pieces
It’s bad when your ship gets into a storm
It’s worse when your ship starts breaking apart in the storm
but it’s so much worse when your ship is in a storm, starts breaking up - and you cannot swim!
those who can swim - swim
those who cannot - grab a piece of the broken ship and hang on - God’s going to get you there!
We so often get so focused on what we’ve lost that we forget to see what we have left!
Get your eyes off what it was - and get your eyes on what you have around you!
If God needed the ship to stay together to get you where he wanted you - then nothing would have caused it to break up!
But a soveriegn God has allowed the storm to break up the boat - but you still have enough for God to get you where he wants you to.
Grab ahold of what you have and hang on!
I have only a sliver of faith- hang on!
I have only a piece of my marriage - hold on!
it’s enough - you can make it!
I only have a little bit of hope!
Hold on!
it’s enough
I want to pray over you this morning - this morning I want you to grab ahold of broken pieces and praise the Lord!
I thank you Lord, for praise and faith!
We’re going to hold on and praise you because you are going to get us where we need to get! We’re going to continue to be faithful because you have not abandoned us but are with us - even as we cling to broke pieces.
We love you Lord!
