Hope for the hopeless
Radio meditation by: Evangelist Sieberen Voordewind
Dear listener. Open your heart for the Living God. I have fantastic news for you if it storms in your life. The life of a human resembles a ship, which sail on World Sea. The life of a human resembles a ship that sails on the waves of the sea.
When the waves are quiet, people are also calm. Everything is favourable. One has a beautiful car, house or whatever. And one doesn't think of God. But it suddenly storms.There are problems!
The waves are getting more turbulent and start becoming harsher to storm. The ship is swinging to all sides and water is coming in the ship. Oh, dear friends, perhaps you are someone who is itself, at this moment in a storm. You're having problems. Yes, your life ship is swinging. The waves of problems are becoming higher and higher. The helm is breaking off. You don't know which side you should go. You've tried to come out of your difficulties, but nothing helped. Your situation seems hopeless. The end is near. Your life ship threatens to sink. What do you have to do? You may have a bleeding heart of grief. The doctor might have said:" Take some rest tablets."
But ... A man on a sinking ship needs more than rest tablets. A man in trouble needs more than alcohol or drugs. Oh, the devil shows beautiful advertises of drinks. But what he doesn't show is: an addict at the side of the road with a broken marriage and a damaged liver. Please listen: "In this hour of despair, is there One who thinks to you." There is One who sees your misery. There is One who wants dry your tears. There is one who wants and can help you. His name is: Jesus Christ. Now, at this moment He stretches His hands to you. Yes, to you. And He wants to save you of the sinking ship. Oh, come right now to Jesus as you are. Tell Him all your pain and misery. Ask Him for forgiveness. Believe that He hears and answers your prayer. Bring Him all your problems, misery, disease and pain. And do not forget that He helps you and will be with you in all circumstances. How it also storms in your life: Come to Jesus at this moment. Give your life to Him and follow Him.
I wish you God's powerful blessing in the name of Jesus Christ, The Name above all names. Amen!
