The Faith of Julius

Today May 22, 2024

Welcome to your mid-week!

Julius’ faith was more than trusting in the word of God given through Apostle Paul. It was the faith to hope; the faith to persevere; the faith to

remain in the storm.

There will always be storms that will hit us in our life whether they be financial storms, relationship storms, health storms, etc. And the unavoidable storms that all of us experience should have us cling on to God more. Those storms should draw us to he who is above the storms; he who can walk on the water; he who who loves us so much to save us from this life full of storms.

And the more we draw closer to he who is love, the more the fears of the storms in our life will lessen.

But, some storms are for our good.

Jonah needed the 3 days in the fish.

Moses needed the time in the wilderness.

David needed his Goliath.

Some storms move us to the place where we need to be.

For Julius, his faith to trust in the word of God; to hope and persevere by remaining on the boat and in the storm, is what eventually led to the saving of all those on board and the introduction of many to the God who Apostle Paul served.

And that is the faith that resonates.

God’s blessing upon you as you think about your storms and where your faith is, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
