Manna for Your Morning

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) When Jesus spoke peace, there was a great calm. Declare His peace over your stormy situation. May you experience a great calm in your life. May a great calm come over relationships that suffer due to strife. Be silent and listen for the voice of the LORD. He will give you the right words to speak at the right time. In 2 Chronicles 20:17, the LORD tells His people, “You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the LORD…”  With us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles. (2 Chronicles 32:8) Be still and wait until the LORD gives you direction. For the battle is the LORD’s and He has already earned the victory for us.

But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 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 4:38-39 (NKJV) When our wind-beaten boat is being tossed to and fro by the stormy waves of life, and we can’t see anything good happening, with our natural eyes, it may seem that Jesus has fallen asleep on the boat. But rest assured that He is awake, He cares and He is at work in your life. Instead of panicking, exercise great faith and speak the Word of God over your circumstances. Be still and know that He is God and He has given you peace that can endure throughout all situations.
