Welcome to Daily Growth Point, I’m Pastor John Bingham.
One of the early explorers of South Africa’s ocean waters experienced terrible storms, that were so severe that he nearly lost his ship. He called the place, the Cape of Storms.
But Vasco da Gama, who came later, changed the name to the Cape of Good Hope, because he saw ahead of him the jewels and treasures of India.
The Bible never promises that we will have smooth sailing. Rather, the Bible teaches that the storms will come. When Jesus was here, He and His disciples rode out great storms on the sea of Galilee, but Christ urged them to trust in Him, no matter the condition of the sea. It was His way of saying, “My grace is sufficient.”
When we trust in Christ for salvation, it doesn’t remove the threat of storms. Rather, Christ becomes the anchor of our soul, so that no matter the storm, we have confidence in the eternity that He has promised.
