What if we saw the presence of God as one of these safe places - a refuge - a harbour?
What if we realised that God allows us moments to withdraw from the chaos of the sea and to rest in the still waters?
Read what Psalm 107 says:
23 Some went off to sea in ships, plying the trade routes of the world.
24 They, too, observed the Lord’s power in action,
his impressive works on the deepest seas.
25 He spoke, and the winds rose, stirring up the waves.
26 Their ships were tossed to the heavens
and plunged again to the depths; the sailors cringed in terror.
27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were at their wits’ end.
28 “Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
29 He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.
30 What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbour!

Thought: Do you need to pull into the harbour of God's grace today? What is stopping you?
Living in grace

Jesus is my 'safe-haven' when battered and tossed by life's turbulence!
