Philippians 4:6-7. ” in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus”

DAILY READING ; Revelation 8; Nehemiah 11; Psalm 103

When a Hurricane is pounding and bringing catastrophic flooding to a region, one may wonder—where do the birds go to? Interestingly, birds are often found in the center of the hurricane.
In a hurricane, there’s something called the “eye of the storm”. This is the center of the hurricane, where it’s very calm and peaceful. All around there  may be  chaos, winds blowing 150 miles an hour, debris flying all around, danger everywhere. But  strangely, despite all this outward mayhem, within the eye of the storm, it’s very calm and peaceful.
When birds start getting caught up in whipping winds, they naturally move to where there is some calm, and this is the eye of the storm. This is where they find calm in the midst of the surrounding chaos

There may be times in life, when it seems as if all around you everything is spinning out of control. Trials, temptations, challenges, may seem to surround you, but in the midst of that storm, there is a place of peace where you can go. The Scripture calls it “the peace that passes all understanding.”

It is a place of inexplicable calmness, and joy. It is a place where when you should be stressed, rather you are blessed. It is a place of turning your battle field to a worship field.  This is the place where obstacles become miracles.
What gives peace in the storm is inviting the Prince of peace, Jesus, into that situation.
In Mathew 8;23-27, the disciples were surrounded by a storm, but when they called upon Jesus, He arose and rebuked the storm and said, “Peace. Be still.” And instantly, the storm ceased.
What gives inexplicable peace in the storm is God’s Presence, and we engage His Presence through praises.
Paul and Silas were surrounded by storm, they were tied up in a prison and soldiers where all around, but when they praised God despite the storm, they were miraculously delivered.
In 2 Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat certainly had a stormy situation when three mighty nations surrounded him, but when he chose to praise God, the storm was dispersed and he got the victory.
It doesn’t matter  what surrounds you today, when you bring God into your situation through praise, you will experience peace that passes all understanding and a forceful turnaround of every negative situation.

PRAYER: Lord, no matter what may be happening around me, I know indeed that You are greater than any storm. Thank You Lord for winning my battles and exceeding my expectations in Jesus Name. .

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.  WORDBITE 222
