Daily Devotion:
"Speak Peace to Every Area of Your Life…"
Mark 4:39
The Passion Translation
So they shook him awake, saying, “Teacher, don’t you even care that we are all about to die!” Fully awake, he rebuked the storm and shouted to the sea, “Hush! Be still!” All at once the wind stopped howling and the water became perfectly calm.
Have you ever thought about the fact that a boat can be surrounded by water, sailing through a vast ocean with water for miles in every direction, but it's not any problem unless the boat starts taking in the water? If the boat starts allowing the ocean to come inside, before long it will sink.
The same principle is true in life. You can have trouble all around you - stress, frustration, and worry. But the good news is, just like that boat, you don't have to allow what's on the outside to get on the inside. When difficult times come, you don't have to be overwhelmed by the waves of worry or fear. Always remember, no matter what storms may come against you, the Creator of the universe lives on the inside of you. Speak peace to every area of your life, and don't let the storm in!
