In the middle of confusion, you are there.
In the midst of my struggles, you are there.
And while the storm is raging, you are there.
So I will get down in the stern of the boat beside you Jesus. I will stay in peace. Storms will come and go all of my life but, despite the storms I can rest. It’s about the time I spend with you vs. what’s happening around me. Because spending time with you brings me the peace that will sustain me in the midst of it all.
You said, “he who keeps his mind stayed on thee will be in perfect peace.”
That’s where the battle is, in the mind. Satan will use thoughts and emotions as weapons but, being in His presence will keep you in perfect peace by sustaining those things that he will try to use against you. Peace that not only sustains you, but peace that passes all understanding. So today, I would encourage you to “get down in the stern of your boat” and keep your eyes on Jesus. Do not give the waves your attention, but give it all to Him.
