Warriors Arise: April 10, 2024
Matthew 8:26 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.
What would it be like for God to come and bring a great calm into your life? I don't know about you, but right now, I could use a great calm in my life. There are times when obligations can overlap and crunch time seems to be crushing us. Instead of managing our schedule, there is no schedule. You run from one thing to the next, you continue to tie up one loose end after another, and yes, it seems like the sky is falling!
But then God hears your cry and speaks to the chaos in your life. In that moment, everything settles and the sky becomes blue. The sun shines down upon you and there is a gentle breeze. God spoke and a great clam entered your life.
I can close my eyes right now and remember that moment. Those moments when God entered, rebuked my chaos (and sometimes me because I got myself into the mess), and a great calm overcame me. This great calm is rich in peace. It touches every fiber of your being and ministers to your mind in such a way that it stops running from one thing to the next and then another after that. That peace is the kind of peace Pauls writes in His letter to the Philippians.
Philippians 4:7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
When God speaks and the great calm comes into your being and cleanses your mind of chaos. Anxiety is nowhere to be found. You know even if things do not work out the way you wanted them, the sky is not falling. You realize God is not shaking on His throne. All will be well. You will get through and it will be better than you thought possible.
My Father in heaven, hallowed be Your Name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. I seek You today. I am in over my head. I have created the chaos because I didn't say, "No." Forgive me for not seeking You. I was wrong. It is costing me so much time away from my family, work, and what You have called me to do. Please forgive me. Because of my decision, I am not loving You well, I am not loving my husband well, I am not loving my children well. I ask to be forgiven. I pray You would come and speak over my chaos. I pray for great calm to enter into my life today and carry me through this crunch time that is crushing me. I ask for You to intervene and act on my behalf in Jesus' Name, amen.
