 January 12, 2023 - Perfect Peacefulness - "He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great and wonderful calm (a perfect peaceableness). And the men were stunned with bewildered wonder and marveled, saying 'What kind of Man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him!'"  Matthew 8: 26-27

I love this story because the fishermen are so stressed about the wind and the waves and there is Jesus, in the front of the boat asleep!  Not a care in the world!  But when they woke him to help, he took care of them.  He had the power.

All of this is a great reminder that God has the power over all of our storms, those that are visible and those that are invisible to others.  When He is with us, there is no reason to panic, and since He is with us always, there should be no panic at all!  Yep.  Tell me that often because I panic, I am afraid, I stress out over things, and I focus on the 'what ifs' more than I should.

Thank you , Lord, for stilling the storms within and outside of me!  Amen.
