In a storm? Check your boat!
September 9, 2018
BIBLE MEDITATION:
And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Remember when Jesus was with his disciples on the Sea of Galilee and a storm came upon them? Lightning began to play in the wind. The sea churned and gentle winds turned into a cruel gale. The little ship was tossed and turned like a cork. The disciples despaired and said to the Lord Jesus Christ who was asleep, “Don’t you care if we perish? Do something!” Jesus spoke to the storm, “Peace, be still.” The winds ceased and the sea calmed.
This world is headed into a storm and the spiritual barometer is dropping. Our world will not know peace until Jesus, the Prince of Peace, comes and says, “Peace, be still.”
ACTION POINT:
Read the full account of what happened to the disciples in Mark 4:36-41. What application can you give to your life?

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
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.’”
