But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
I Corinthians 15:57
When victories come into our lives, there is a critical equation to practice. Give God the glory, and He will give you the joy. If you take the glory, your joy will not last long. When God receives the glory our joy will be everlasting.

And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:39
If Jesus can speak and calm a raging sea, He can calm the storm in your life today. No matter the severity of your storm, Jesus will cause the wind to cease, and He will bring a great calm in your life.

Rest in the LORD, Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
Psalm 37:7
Find peace in your ability to rest in God’s presence. When you are discouraged by the prosperity of the wicked, God says to relax and rest in Him. His plans are in place, and He is trustworthy with your future.

“Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
Psalm 4:4
One way to overcome the temptation to live in sin and yield to the flesh is to take time to stand in awe of God and be still. Do you struggle at times with the question, “Is it worth it to follow God?” You are not alone. Satan is as much a distractor as he is a deceiver. He will continue to distract you from an awareness of the awe of the God of the universe, the creator of all things, the provider of your salvation. To keep a heart warm toward God, follow the instructions of today’s verse by standing in awe of God, sin not, and commune with your own heart on your bed by meditating on the greatness of God.
I pray for God’s awesome presence in your life today.

This Week’s Theme: Be Still – by Ken Turner, July 16, 2018
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Thought for today…
Don’t just be still, be still and know.
Be still and know He is God.
Be still and know He is your God.
Be still and know He is your loving God.
Be still and know He is your refuge.
Be still and know He will provide.
Be still and know He will never leave you or forsake you.
Be still and know He is real and this is true.
Be still and know.
Be still.
