Positive Daily Inspiration - January 11, 2023 - PEACE, BE STILL
“He woke up, and rebuked the wind, and the raging waves; they ceased, and there was a calm.”
Luke 8:24
The disciples went to Jesus, who was calmly asleep on the boat, and shouted at Him, saying, “Master, Master, WE ARE PERISHING!!!” The boat had been taking in water, and the disciples, looking to the appearances, were taking in great fear, – which would have sunk them faster than the boat taking in water.
After He calmed the situation, Jesus looked at His disciples and said, “Where is your faith?”
This type of situation has happened to all of us, at one time or another. We find ourselves caught up in a personal storm, and our life is taking on water, and will soon sink without Divine intervention.
God, in times of both challenge, and joy, is there for you. In times of challenge, we must keep our faith in God high; it is the key that will unlock the great mysteries to get us through any, and ALL storms.
You can have faith in God, because looking back on your own life, you recognize that God has seen you through the ups, and the downs of your life. God has supported and guided you even when you were not aware of it.
When you are going through a personal storm, God can give you peace of mind. God surrounds you with God’s loving, protecting presence that will always sustain you through any challenge.
Many times, God brings people into our lives that will bring new blessings for us, and that we can be a blessing to, in times of adversity. The greatest way that we can follow Jesus is through the practice of faith, instead of fear. If Jesus were to ask you, “Where is your faith?” You could say to Jesus, “Right here, right now, fully in God.”
When a tadpole becomes a frog, and an acorn grows into a towering tree, they are fulfilling their potential. We fill our spiritual potential when we hold on to our faith in the midst of a storm.
When we are holding onto our faith, we are calm enough to receive guidance from God. When we are all agitated, we cannot listen, or comprehend. We follow a Divine plan by following the guidance we receive from God, in order to fulfill our own potential.
Life is in a constant state of change and adaptation, and this change may seem like a storm with the raging waves. When your faith is high, your mind is alert and receptive to the God-given potential that lies within you, waiting to be expressed.
Every person created by God has been given potential. Just as the tadpole becomes the frog and the acorn the tree, you change from day to day, increasing your awareness of God and realizing that you are living out a Divine plan and fulfilling your own potential.
You can weather ANY storm, because God holds you up in the waves and sets the direction for a harbor of safety.
