Looking at the news this morning I see the UK is bracing itself for a massive storm. How do you respond when the storms of life are raging against you? One time Jesus was with His disciples in a boat out on the water when they encountered a great storm. The disciples were very afraid, but Jesus on the other hand, was fast asleep. When the disciples woke Him to see if He could help them, Jesus got up and simply spoke to the storm, "Peace! Be still" and the seas were calm again.
When difficult times come, you don't have to be overwhelmed by the waves of worry or fear. Just as Jesus stood up and spoke to the storm, you have power in your words, too. The Bible says that the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in every believer. He's given you His authority to declare peace over your home, over your mind, and over your family. Remember, no matter what storms may come against you, the Greater One lives on the inside of you!
Today Speak to your storms and walk in peace all the days of your life! We've all felt overwhelmed by the circumstances at one time or another. Be encouraged today because the Bible says in Isaiah that when you cry out to God for help, as soon as He hears, He will answer you! He will give you strength when you are weary and increase your power when you feel weak. No matter what is going on in your life, God is greater than any obstacle or difficulty you may be facing. Do you need strength today to overcome a challenge in your life? Do you need power to stand strong in the midst of a storm? Call on Him right now and He will hear you. The answer is on the way while the words are still on your lips!
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)
Let's Pray
Yahweh , thank You for filling me with Your Holy Spirit and giving me Your authority here on earth. Today I declare peace over every area of my life. Father, fill me with Your strength and power. I give You my whole heart. Remove anything from my life that isn't pleasing to You in Jesus' name. Amen.
