‘Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy! I look to you for protection. I will hide beneath the shadow of your wings until the danger passes by.’ Psalms 57:1(NLT)
‘When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. ‘ Mark 4:39(NLT)
‘Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself.’ Jeremiah 31:3(NLT)
‘Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” ) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.’ Romans 8:35-39(NLT)
“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me! For my soul trusts in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will make my refuge, until these calamities have passed by.” (Psalm 57:1 NKJV)
Are your thoughts troubled, especially when you consider the Coronavirus and the havoc it has wrought? Are things twisting and turning in your head? Perhaps an internal alarm seems to be ringing as your agitated mind searches for answers, for peace in the storm.
Today, He’s saying to you, let not your heart be troubled in the midst of these calamities, my friend. I pray that this message from the Lord’s heart refreshes and comforts you today…
May the sound of the winds not frighten you.
I am here, and at the right moment, I will calm the storm.
I will speak to it, and with a word, reduce it to silence. (see Mark 4:39)
When you hear the howling winds and gusts,
When you feel the sea rising up, the waves raging,
Do not be afraid…speak to Me!
Come close to Me and find refuge in My arms.
Nothing could shake My love for you…
Neither hostile winds, nor storms, nor tempestuous swells. (see Jeremiah 31:3)
My love, here and now, surpasses the strength of these elements.
In the face of the storm you’re experiencing, My love is a lighthouse,
Always leading you to a safe harbor, continually drawing you to Me.
As long as your heart is close to Mine,
Nothing can take you from My arms…
Neither the waves, nor the swells, nor the storm.
As long as your hand is holding Mine,
Nothing will separate us. (see Romans 8:35-39)
Today and in the days to come, may you find all the security, love, and comfort you need in His arms. This is my prayer for you.
