About finding calm in the storm…
Matthew 8:26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then
he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. 27 The men were
amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey
him!" (NIV)
Your God is a God of peace. Your Holy Spirit is a spirit that brings peace. Jesus, the
Son of God who died such a violent death for you on the Cross, is your Christ who brings
you inner peace and calm. In the middle of this storm in your life, He calls you to
worship Him. In the middle of this storm, as you worship Him, He brings a calm in the
storm. As you look up and see His smiling face, you can see the high waves grow calm at
His command. If you would just pray and talk to Him, He will answer and give you peace.
Your Savior calmed the waters and He will quiet the storm in your life. He will end the
turmoil and strife. He has command over the seas and if you let Him, He will have command
over the storms in your life. Christ has afforded you salvation and in that salvation, you
find His peace. In Him, you find a quiet confidence and strength that is not found
anywhere else. He will, by His love and the power of His spirit, lift you up over troubled
waters. Be still and know that He is with you. Be still and know that He is truly your
God.
