Flint is very durable and resists weathering better than almost any other natural stone. From early days flint was used to make weapons and tools because of its resistance to wear. When we set our faith like flint we will not fail!
23And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Matthew 8:23-27
In this passage of scripture the disciples ran to get Jesus when the storm arose. Jesus was asleep in the back. Obviously, He wasn’t upset by the storm! He had already spoken to them and said we are going to the other side. God has given us His Word. Instead of looking to the arm of the flesh for solutions during our storm we should seek God. We should go to His Word and declare what He has declared to be true for our lives. He has already made provision for our success through Jesus.

When in the midst of a storm in my life I will turn to Jesus for the answer.
8If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James 2:8
30And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mark 12:30-31
Eagerly pursue and seek to acquire [this] love [make it your aim, your great quest];
1 Corinthians 14:1 (AMPC)
First John 4:8 tells us that God is love. As His children, we should be an example of that love to everyone we come in contact with. It isn’t always easy! But we will be blessed if we do.
Victory Decision
I will walk in love with my family, friends, neighbors and enemies. I bless those that do me wrong knowing that God will bless me when I do.
5Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
Psalms 37:4-5
God is our father and always wants us to have His best. But if we lean to our own understanding we could fall short of God’s best. His way is ALWAYS the best way! He knows so much more than we do. Trust God!
Victory Decision
I will trust God to lead me in the best way possible – His Way.
