“Calm”

Jesus said, “Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

Matthew 11:28

 

The Atlanta Ocean at White Water can get stirred up and turbulent with the push of a button. Have you ever felt your life got just that chaotic that fast? But just like the turbulent water, life does become calmer when we get still.

I have a secret weapon to calm the turbulent waters. I have found if I whisper the name “Jesus” in the midst of what I feel is a crisis, the water slowly gets still. Malachi 3:10 says, “If only you would stop moving around and making so much noise! Stay quiet in my presence, and I will open the gates of heaven and bless you until your cup runs over.” By whispering one word, being stilling, and having faith, the crises passes.

Application

The next time the water becomes turbulent, be still.

Prayer

Lord, may I focus on you and not all the other distractions around me.
