DAY 8: FRIDAY DECEMBER 8. 2023.
TODAY’S INSPIRATION: LUKE 8V22-25.
“22 ¶ Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.” (KJV)
INSPIRATION NOTE:
Luke 8:22-25 portrays a powerful depiction of Jesus’ authority over nature and His ability to bring peace to our lives amidst chaos.
In this passage, we witness Jesus calming a violent storm, displaying His divine power and sovereignty. This story not only illustrates Jesus’ ability to control the physical elements but also symbolizes His role as the Prince of Peace, capable of calming the storms of our own fears and anxieties.
It serves as a reminder that we can find solace and security in His presence.
PRAYER:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you with grateful hearts, acknowledging that you are the ultimate source of peace. Just as you brought calm to the storm in Luke 8, we ask that you calm the storms of fear and uncertainty within us.
Help us to trust in your sovereignty and find comfort in the knowledge that you are with us, guiding and protecting us through every tempest of life.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
