Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
"O afflicted one, storm-battered and unconsoled, I lay your pavements in carnelians, your foundations in sapphires; I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the LORD; great shall be the peace of your children. In justice shall you be established, far from oppression, you shall not fear, from destruction, it cannot come near." Isaiah 54:11-14
Isaiah 54 - God's protection. Finding peace in the chaos is God's message in Isaiah 53 & 54. Isaiah 53 is the image of the suffering servant Jesus and Heaven with God in 54. God offers us protection from the calamities of life in Him, the world was flooded, Noah did not know what tomorrow brought yet he was protected. Jesus was crucified yet His passion lead Him home. God paints the picture of Heaven this morning as we live this journey. Be with Him in the boat, the seas churn, the wind blows, the body gets racked but God offers protection for those willing to journey with Him and in Him. You can find peace in the chaos.
What is God saying to me: Be still and just be, I speak when nothing is going on around you.
Dear Father, I am blessed to have others around me that teach of Your wisdom. I am blessed to hear good news of the things that You are doing. I am blessed to see the Kingdom growing and our world, yours and mine, filled with Your presence. I do not fear the dark of night nor the arrow that flies by day for You are with me by my choice. Thank You for the peace and knowledge of knowing You. Prayers for a friend surrounded by choppy seas, bad news and sickness striking family members, give her strength Lord and an overwhelming sense of Peace that all will be well. "Do you not know that the runners in the stadium all run in the race, but only one wins the prize? Run so as to win." 1 Corinthians 9:24 Give us vision Father, Amen.
