Saturday – Hearing God in Storms



Whispers | Hearing God In… Storms

September 2000 I went through the biggest storm of my life. At the age of 29 with a wife that was now almost 6 months pregnant, I was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer called acute myelogenous leukemia. To be honest, I felt God was a million miles away. So much so that for about two days, He was the furthest thing from my mind.

I had to make the choice that it didn’t matter what I was going through God was with me, and could heal me. Through my treatment I had my highs and lows. During the first round of my chemo I could not sleep for four days. They tried every sleeping pill they knew but the fear, anxiety, doubt of me losing my life kept my mind racing. One night God showed my that how in the midst of my storm I could have peace. He told me to look at my wife, who never left my side and slept on a lumpy hospital cot every night. There she was sleeping peacefully. Immediately God brought to my attention to Mark 4:38 when Jesus slept through the storm. I was blown away at how Jesus used my sleeping wife to bring me peace in the midst of my storm.

It didn’t matter how bad it was, I could have peace because Jesus had peace. In the midst of my storm, He was sleeping on my boat. I have never forgotten that. Let me encourage you that no matter what you go through Jesus is with you and you can have peace in the midst of your storm.
