Today’s Scripture

They all got into a boat and began to cross over to the other side of the lake. And Jesus, exhausted, fell asleep. Suddenly a violent storm developed, with waves so high the boat was about to be swamped. Yet Jesus continued to sleep soundly. The disciples woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We’re going to die!” But Jesus reprimanded them. “Why are you gripped with fear? Where is your faith?” Then he stood up and rebuked the storm and said, “Be still!” And instantly it became perfectly calm. The disciples were astonished by this miracle and said to one another, “Who is this Man? Even the wind and waves obey his Word.”  

Matthew 8:23-27

Today’s Thought

When the storms of life show up, don’t instantly cry out to God. Remember the ability to calm the storms of life has already been given to you. Speak out in faith and pass the life test. The wind and waves will obey you too.

Today’s Confession

Thank you Lord that you have given me the authority to speak out in faith, to declare and decree calm and peace into all stressful situations I may face in life. Remind me to stand strong in faith when the storms of life show up.
