In the storms, trust in Jesus!

Once, Jesus was with His disciples in a boat when they were caught in a great storm. Even the experienced sailors among them were afraid! But with a command from Jesus, the storm became calm.

Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
- Matthew 8:23–26

Sometimes life’s problems seem like storms that could drown us. But never forget this: Jesus is in control. Believe in Jesus and He will calm the storm. He has all the power to do so, loves you more than anyone else, and cares for you at all times. Trust in the Lord’s love and power! Cry out to Him, because He will act and calm the storm that now seems so great and unbearable.

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
and he guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love
and his wonderful deeds for mankind.
- Psalm 107:28–31

What is the storm in your life that needs Jesus’ intervention?

Yesterday's Word

What’s Worrying You?

We can worry about thousands of different things, from what people think of us to what will happen in our future. Many times, our worry has no real foundation. We anticipate trouble, worrying about things that may never happen, and even if they did, worrying would not prevent them. Only Jesus can carry your heavy burden. Put your trust in God and give Him all your concerns today. He cares for you!

Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?
- Luke 12:25–26

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
- Matthew 6:31–33

Take your worries to the Lord in prayer. Speak to Him, but also listen for His voice. He wants to fill your heart with peace and remind you of the eternal hope you have in Him. Surrender your concerns to Him and receive all the good things He wants to give you. He is faithful and will help you. Remember, you can trust God at all times and for all eternity.

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Listen to others

Speaking too much is a common mistake of many people. But only those who know how to be silent and listen truly know how to speak. Nowadays people struggle to communicate well because they don’t listen well and talk too much. Maybe that’s why God gave us 2 ears and only 1 mouth… Think about it and reflect to evaluate whether you are someone who talks too much without allowing others to express their ideas. Make it a point to listen more and meditate first, always seeking to speak with wisdom.

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,
- James 1:19

Instead of rushing to speak and give your opinion on every subject, pause for a moment to think and ask yourself how you can please God with your words. Evaluate your interactions with your family and friends. Pray that God will help you to listen attentively and provide words that encourage and bless, words that draw people closer to God.

By listening carefully, you may even be surprised. You can learn a lot when you listen attentively. Therefore, listen with respect and humility. It is not only a demonstration of wisdom, but you may even learn something important.

Where there is strife, there is pride,
but wisdom is found in those who take advice.
- Proverbs 13:10
