Matthew 8:26-27 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Imagine being one of the disciples in that boat, waves crashing all around, the boat rocking wildly. They were terrified, thinking this might be the end. But there was Yeshua (Jesus), asleep in the same boat! He was with them the whole time, waiting for them to trust Him.
Isn’t that just like our lives sometimes? We’re in the thick of it, storms raging, calling out, “Lord, do you not see what’s happening to me?!”
But yes, He sees! The same Yeshua who calmed the sea back then is with us today. He knows what we’re going through, and at His command, our fiercest storms can turn into peace so profound it leaves us in awe.
So let’s find our peace, our “shalom,” in your storm … for it’s in these storms we learn of God’s faithfulness and when He displays His awesome power. Let’s renew our trust in the Lord today — for God has great plans for those who will put their trust in Him. So relax … He’s got you!

The world seems to be turning inside out, upside down! And while hearing the collapse of society may lead many to anger and resentment ... let's remember that life and death are in the power of the tongue! Remember that blessing and cursing should never come out of the same vessel! [ James 3:10 ] So despite how crazy the world is ... let's choose to bless this world!
