Storms will come. That’s not a matter of if—but when. The question is: where will you stand when the wind picks up, and how will you respond when the waves crash in? The answer isn’t in trying to control the storm—it’s in knowing who’s in the boat.
Our springboard for today’s discussion is:
“And he awoke 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 (ESV)
The disciples panicked—and it’s easy to understand why. The storm was real. The danger was intense. And Jesus was… asleep.
That’s how it feels sometimes, doesn’t it? Like God’s sleeping on your situation while everything around you falls apart. But notice what Jesus did—He didn’t panic. He didn’t match the chaos. He commanded peace.
And peace obeyed.
That same Jesus is with you now. He may not always calm the storm immediately, but He always brings peace to the one who calls on Him. Peace is not the absence of struggle—it’s the presence of Christ in the middle of it.
If you're overwhelmed right now, stop trying to control the outcome. Call on the One who controls the wind and the waves. Let Him quiet your heart even if the storm still rages around you.
The goal isn’t to escape the storm—the goal is to walk through it without losing your peace.
Question of the Day:
Are you trying to calm the storm yourself—or are you calling on the One who speaks to storms?
Mini Call to Action:
Take five minutes today, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Say aloud, “Peace. Be still.” Let those words settle into your spirit as a declaration of trust.
Let’s Pray:
Jesus, I invite Your peace into the chaos of my life. Remind me that You are near, that You are greater than the storm, and that my soul can rest in You. In Your name, amen.
Let’s Get To Work!
Peace doesn’t come from the storm dying down—it comes from knowing Jesus never left.
