TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
Then He arose and rebuked the wind,
and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a
great calm.
Mark 4:39, NKJV.
TODAY'S WORD:
Have you ever thought about the fact
that a boat can be surrounded by water, sailing through a vast ocean with water
for miles in every direction, but it’s not any problem unless the boat starts
taking on the water? If the boat starts allowing the ocean to come inside,
before long, it will sink.
The same principle is true in life.
You can have trouble all around you—stress, frustration and worry. But the good
news is, just like that boat, you don’t have to allow what’s on the outside get
on the inside. When difficult times come, you don’t have to be overwhelmed by
the waves of worry or fear. What should you do? Follow the example of Jesus.
When He was in the midst of the storm, He stood up and spoke to the storm.
Always remember, no matter what
storms may come against you, the Greater One lives on the inside of you. Turn
to Him and walk in His power. Don’t let the storm in, and speak peace to every
area of your life!
PRAYER FOR TODAY:
Father, thank
You for filling me with Your Holy Spirit and empowering me to stand against the
storms of life. Today I declare peace over every area of my life and thank You
for working things out for my good in Jesus’ name. Amen.
