10 mins a day, closer to God.
There is an almost irrational sense of peace that comes with trusting God. Regardless of the pending circumstance, we are instructed not to be fearful or dismayed. Jesus made himself an example of this. Crossing the Sea of Galilee to the opposite shore required a boat for Jesus and his disciples. Jesus dozed off in the boat while traveling when an abrupt storm developed. The disciples started to worry and fear about their situation. As they were ready to perish in the storm, they awoke Jesus and questioned how he could be sleeping at that very moment. However, Jesus maintained his composure, which further perplexed the alarmed disciples. Jesus simply got to his feet and yelled, "Peace, be still!" As the storm subsided at the Lord's command, the wind and the sea calmed. The disciples were so confused. Even though the disciples had the honor of following Jesus and witnessing his miracles, they lacked the assurance that they would be safe during a trying time. We are like the disciples. Even when we see God work in miraculous ways, we are terrified at the sight of the next storm. This verse is a divine promise from God. With His righteous hand, He will strengthen us, help us, and uphold us in every situation we face. Let us be fearless today because God is with us!
Dear Heavenly Father, I've witnessed what You've done for me and others. I know You are an all-powerful God, and I need not fear. Help me to internalize this truth so that I can experience Your unending peace. Regardless of the situation of the day, You are my God, and You will give me peace in the storm. You control the winds and the waves. Help me to believe that I have nothing to fear because You are always with me. In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.
Isaiah 55:8
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Hebrews 11:5
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Joshua 6:5
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
