Open Thoughts: Daily Devotional - Be at Peace

'Be at Peace'

And a furious storm of wind [of hurricane proportions] arose, and the waves kept beating into the boat, so that it was already becoming filled. But He [Himself] was in the stern [of the boat], asleep on the [leather] cushion; and they awoke Him and said to Him, Master, do You not care that we are perishing? And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was [immediately] a great calm (a perfect peacefulness). He said to them, Why are you so timid and fearful? How is it that you have no faith (no firmly relying trust)?

Sometimes I don't think we understand who we have with us. The disciples were in a boat, the storm was raging but Jesus was sleeping or let's say relaxing lol. Jesus was at peace despite all of life's troubles around him. He then rose and calmed the storm, immediately the storm calmed down.

No doubt that in your life there are things you are going through, it can feel like you are being attacked from every corner, unrelenting pressure, wave after wave. It may seem like there's no end to it but I want to announce that you can be at peace. Invite God into your life, trust in him, rest in him and with him.

Being at rest in the middle of pressure and all the storms is a key thing that we need to be able to do. Ask God to give you peace............

Do you have the ability to be at peace while the storm Is raging?
