The reason for your confidence is that you have a Saviour!

In June 2023 the world news was focused on a tourist submersible vessel which was destroyed going to view the sunken Titanic. A nonsensical tragedy which killed 5 people based around the tragic historical story of a sunken ship in 1912 where more than 1,500 people died. No one could save them in 1912 or in 2023.

What carries you may go down. The storm of life may cause your security to be broken up. The foundation gone. The vehicle that is taking you to your destination lost forever. Yet at that time you will find that what you thought was carrying you actually wasn’t. It is someone else who is carrying you. The God of the seas is carrying you!

“To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Saviour be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.” (Jude 24-25)

You won’t go down with this ship. You will not be lost. You have a Saviour. And if you do go down He not only is Saviour He is the Resurrection! You don’t lose.

But it takes courage to remain when the ship sinks. You have to make a decision to maintain your resilience. Never surrender your life to any storm that comes your way. From moments of discouragement to depths of despair many have said ‘I give up’. But the Spirit urges you today to hold on, to get a grip of yourself. You see, the real battle is not the storm of circumstance but the storm within. To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy. How? He is God our Saviour! He saves! He saves not only from sin and death but He saves from being deceived by the false teachers as in Jude’s day so in ours. He saves from those who infiltrate through stealth to try to divide and destroy what has been handed to us. And … He saves you today from whatever you are going through!

Let the ship go down, not everything lasts, but the eternal everlasting all-powerful Father will never lose you. He holds you today, so take courage.

One day our earthly bodies will all sink but we will be saved!
