Wig’s Word of God Today 6-28-2011
Why are you terrified, O you of little faith? Matthew 8:25b
Genesis 19:15-29, Psalm 26 & Matthew 8:23-27
We learn today that Abraham’s nephew Lot was the only decent God-fearing man in Sodom resulting in the two angels rushing him out of town to save his families life before the LORD’s wrath came upon the town and consumed everyone in fire. The angel warned the family not to look back or they could be swept away and consumed by the wrath of God but Lot’s wife longed for her old life in Sodom and the LORD’s Will turned her into a pillar of salt as she lagged behind her families escape. I for one believe in the LORD’s wrath and urge people to repent and seek the Salvation granted by Christ’s death on the Cross.
When I was in the Navy, I sailed the South China Seas on a US Naval Fast Frigate named the USS Jack Williams FFG-24. We were sailing the South China Sea in waiting for the Chinese to complete a pass-ex with an American ship for the first time in ions we were told as we experienced the roughest seas I had ever encountered. The ship rocked back and fourth on 10 to 20 degree rolls for an entire week. People were sick and scared as the Captain reassured everyone announcing repeatedly during the week “God will protect us.” I remember the trust I felt in my heart for the captain’s words and how relieved I was one day to wake up to calm seas and a beautiful sunrise.
The disciples fright was a natural feeling in a boat that is being tossed around like a soda can on the sea but their fright turned to amazement as they awoke Jesus to exclaim, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” As the Captain of any ship will try and do, He calmed not only the men’s fear but the winds and the seas with His Divine abilities and thus the Disciples fear turned to absolute wonder when they said to themselves, “What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?”
He is the One and Only True God who can calm any storm within our minds, hearts and souls if only we will display the faith He showers on us all by our surrender to His Way of Salvation. He will send angels to carry us out of burning homes just as He did to Lot and his family or He will send you a Captain of faith who will command a Navy ship with confidence in his abilities as a God-fearing Christian. If only you will take your love of loving Christ Jesus and carry the faith of His hope, charity and love. Amen.
So we ask in prayer, Dear God of All, we thank you for the faith you give men and women who surround us for Your Truth to live in joy of Your Son’s Salvation from sin. Give us the courage to live in this faith in everything we do. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
God Bless His Truth for America,

Romans 8:28
“Spirit led God inspired Christ fed“
His Power Calmed the Winds Fright
The world has its wonders
Only God knows every sight
The deep waters of the oceans
The sea so deep with fright
In His fingers streaming
The stars took their flight
Adding the glow of wonder
Shinning each and every night
Men of destiny rode in Christ’s boat
To see the waves crash in spite
Of God being the Captain
His Power calmed the winds fright
