I love to put down certain extracts of quotes, paragraphs or passages from the books I read. Normally these are the passages that have spoken to me and I just want to share with you.

There is no intention to copy the whole book into the blog but certain extracts. Respective authors are given due recognition in this blog and I encourage you to buy the book to read if you deemed the extracts encourages you.

On a Dark and Stormy Night

Matthew 14:22-36, Matt 5:45

How can I survived in a dark and stormy night?
a) Recognising the voice of God - There is security
b) Responding to the voice of God - There is salvation

Passing to the next generation - is recognising the voice of the Lord. How?
1) Voice of Comfort - You can count on Him - Matt 14:25-27, Ps 8:3-4, 1 Peter 5:7
It is I, God is there. 2 Cor 1:3-4

2) It is a voice of communion. You can COME to Him. 1 Thes 5:19-22. James 3:17, James 4:8, Rev 3:20

3) It is a voice of Compassion. You can cling on to Him Matt 14:30-31

4) Matt 14:28,29 - He humanly stepped out. This is responding in faith. He honestly called out. He humbly cried out.

Normally during storm, we want to defend and take control. What is the best antidote for PRIDE is HELP. Matt 14:32-33
