As small business owners, we spend a large amount of time in the grind of running our businesses. The amount of pressure that goes with running a business in the flesh is exhausting. We can easily get caught up thinking we are the ones holding things together, making it happen, pulling the levers.
This weekend I stood quietly, watching the ocean obey God with every wave. The Lord said ...
I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it. (Jeremiah 5:22, NIV)
I was reminded that the more time I spend with God, marveling in awe and reverence of Him and His infinite wisdom, power, and authority over all things, the more I know that it is through Him that all things are possible. The more I understand that the fear of God equals peace.
Without God, nothing exists, including peace and rest.
God is the answer even when the things of this world are screaming for our attention. Taking daily action to put God at the forefront of everything is the only way to experience the peace that passes all understanding.
