June 3, 2025 — The Eye of the Storm
Weekly Theme: Steady Through the Storm
In the center of chaos, stillness speaks.
Words of Light
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
— Psalm 46:10 (KJV)
Reflection
The eye of the storm is a paradox. In the middle of swirling chaos, there is a quiet center — a place untouched by the outer rage. Life brings storms of many kinds: circumstances beyond our control, unexpected losses, the ache of waiting. And often, our instinct is to fight the storm, to outrun it, or to rail against the winds.
But there is a deeper invitation here.
God does not always remove the storm; sometimes He calls us to step into the stillness within it. It is not found on the edges of our frantic efforts, but at the center where striving ceases, and surrender begins.
Stillness is not passivity.
It is the quiet confidence that God is present even when we cannot control the outcomes. It is trust in His sovereignty when the future looks uncertain. When we become still, we are no longer tossed about by fear — we are anchored in the certainty of His presence.
Today, the invitation is not to outrun the storm, but to find the stillness within it — and to know, even here, even now, God is God.
Pause and consider:
- Where in your life are you being called to stillness rather than striving?
- How might trusting God’s presence change the way you experience today’s storms?
Affirmation
I am centered in stillness. I trust the One who calms the storm.
Peace,
Rita
