The Stormy Sea

Isaiah 57:20

But evil people are like the angry sea. It cannot rest. Its waves toss up waste and mud.

Have you watched the popular kids cartoon named ‘Finding Nemo’? It's about how Nemo’s friends tried to find Nemo in the middle of the stormy, raging and angry seas. Each time the sea started to rage, it seemed like nothing could stop it. All the sea animals were tossed up and down. How they wished that the storm would stop, and the waves would die down. The waves just kept taking them further and further away. They could not help one another. 

Evil people are like this stormy and angry sea. They make the people around them feel very uncomfortable. Their actions harm others. Their words hurt others. Their minds are restless. They are not humble enough to stop their sin; thus there is no way they can feel peace in their heart. Peace comes to the person who humbles himself and surrenders to God.

Let’s check our heart and ensure it is filled with God’s peace. Do not open an opportunity for sins or evil to enter your heart. 

Prayer

Dear God, may Your peace be upon me always. I fully surrender to Your Holy Spirit to work in my life according to Your ways to reflect Your love. Amen.
