7 Days to Victory Over Fear Muestra

Speaking Peace over Your Life

Daily Verse – Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:38-39, NIV

Have you ever experienced a loud thunderstorm? The winds are howling. The rain is pouring. Lightning strikes as the thunder rolls. It’s noisy and often disconcerting. But then, the storm will pass, and a certain quiet will descend after the storm. Often, we refer to this as the calm after the storm.

As the disciples were traveling with Jesus in a boat across a huge lake, a storm began to brew. Jesus was sound asleep in the bottom of the boat. His disciples woke him up in sheer panic mode. Calmly, Jesus spoke to the wind, and everything became completely calm. In one moment, the storm dissipated, and everything was peaceful.

Perhaps today, you find yourself in a storm. Something has blown into your life and is wreaking havoc on you. Why not invite Jesus to speak peace over this issue? If he is able to handle the weather, he can also handle your situation!
