JOURNAL=6-1-15=REMAIN CALM IN THE STORMS OF LIFE




“He shall NEVER be moved; the JUST MAN shall be in EVERLASTING REMEMBRANCE”
Psalm 112:6


CAN YOU REMAIN at peace and calm within-no matter what is going on in the world-MANY of us become shaken or disturbed even WHEN small things go wrong-they put us off track and shake us up-put us out of our routine


THE ONLY WAY to be UNMOVABLE-the ONLY way to stay at PEACE-is by CONNECTING ourselves with the ONE who is truly at peace-OUR GOD-and our Lord and SAVIOR Jesus Christ


INSIDE each of us is a CENTER-WHERE OUR SPIRIT resides-this is WHERE our PRAYER LIFE originates-and our SAFE PLACE when the WORLD gets too crazy for us-FINDING this place HELPS US to remain calm IN THE STORMS OF LIFE


I often think of the ocean-or laying out in the sun-next to the ocean-OR better yet-being alone in my room-PRAYING to God-saying my prayers-or READING MY BIBLE


FINDING GOD in the deep recess of my soul-HELPS ME to find my calm-to RECLAIM my peace and steadiness


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-and a great day for FINDING OUR PEACE-Despite the storms of life




REMAINING CALM-IN THE STORMS OF LIFE




One of the biggest things
We NEED to do in life
Is to try and REMAIN CALM
When the difficulties of life
Are threatening our lives
Our relationships
And our livelihoods


Easier said
Than done


“He makes the storm calm
So that the waves are still” Psalm 107:29


STAY CALM


“And behold
There arose a great tempest
In the sea
In as much as the ship
Was covered with waves
But he (Jesus) was asleep” Matthew 8:24


And they woke Jesus
And he said,


“Why are you fearful
You of little faith
Then he arose
And rebuked the winds
And the sea
And there was
A GREAT CALM” Matthew 8:26


Do you ever feel
That way
When you get
That bad health diagnosis
When your finances are falling apart
When your relationship
Or your relationships
Are breaking up


STAY CALM
The Lord our God
Has it under control


Our Lord
Can control the spiritual
And emotional storms of our life
Just as
He can control the physical-like the sea


STAY CALM


Not so easy
Is it
When we confront
Irritating people and irritating situations


It is a CHALLENGE
To keep our thoughts calm


“Search me-oh God
And know my heart
Test me and know
My anxious thoughts” Psalm 139:23


STAY CALM
And STAY CONNECTED
To the Lord
And you will
Come out victorious
With our Lord-LEADING the way


“STAY CALM
The Lord KNOWS the thoughts of man” Psalm 94:11


STAY CALM-in the storms of life
And REST on the POWER OF GOD
