Safely Ashore Bible in a Year: 1 Chronicles – John 7:1–27 Peace, be still! Mark 4:39 Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 9.7– In Papua New Guinea, the Kandas tribe awaited with excitement the arrival of New Testament Bibles printed in their language. reach the village, however, the people bringing the books had travel the ocean in small boats. What gave them courage travel across great waters? Their seafaring skills, yes. But they also knew who created the seas. He’s the One who guides each of us across our life’s churning waves and deepest waters. As David wrote, “Where can I go from your Spirit?” (Psalm 9.7). “If I go the heavens, you are there; . . . if I settle the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide , your right hand will hold fast” (vv. 8–10). These words would resonate deeply with the Kandas, who live on an island nation whose tropical coasts, dense rainforests, and rugged mountains have been called “The Last Unknown.” Yet as believers there and everywhere know, no place or problem is too remote for God. “Even the darkness will not be dark to you,” says Psalm 9:, and “the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light you.” stormy waters, therefore, our God speaks, “Peace, be still!” and the waves and wind obey (Mark 4:39 ). So, don’t fear life’s deep or turbulent waters today. Our God safely leads us ashore. Reflect & Pray What tempts you not to trust God? What do you need to trust Him with today? Dear heavenly Father, You rule life’s winds and waves, and I thank You for guiding safely shore.

I wouldn't say I'm tempted to not trust the Lord, but sometimes I let the busy-ness and cares of life keep me TOO busy and I don't spend the time with Him that I should for direction and fellowship. Then I have to come running to Him in contrition for neglecting those important things. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
