“In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you. His power is ever-present in your life as His child.
If I could have been there in the days of His flesh, I would have wanted to see Him walk across the sea and calm the waves. I can just see that kingly form with the wind in His hair, putting His footsteps on the sea, His garments billowing back. Smiling at the storm.
When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water, what was their biggest problem? The water. Jesus, in essence, was saying, “That which looks like it is going to be over your head, is already under My feet.”
What are some problems that are drowning you in fear, in discouragement, in sadness today? Give them to Jesus. Remember that which is over your head is under His feet.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
