ALL Is Well

        Sometimes a good story says it  all, like this one by Robert Louis Stevenson. The scene? A raging storm at sea. The story? The passengers in the ship became alarmed when the waves began to crash over the bow.

Many of them though for certain that the end had come.

        Finally, one passenger--against orders--crept up on deck where the pilot was steering the churning vessel. There the pilot stood, strapped tightly to the wheel. He caught sightof the terror--stricken man and gave him a reassuring smile. At that point, the passenger backed down the steps, entered the hold ship, and announced to the others,"I have seen the face of the pilot and he smiled at me. All is well."

This story perfectly captures what our  Pilot is doing when the reassuring smile of God, we would be calmed. He knows the way through the waves.

When the Spirit of Christ whispers to your troubled heart, "seek his face,"dont delay. This is what is called a prompting or nudging of the spirit. He is telling you what to do. Immediately say to him in prayerful response, "Yes Lord, I will seek you." And then, do just that: Seek Him in His Word and through prayer. The peace that surpasses all understanding will be your when you hear Him whisper, in return, "All is well."

Psalm27:8

" My heart say of you, "Seek his face!' Your face, Lord, I will seek."
