Peace is possible. The winds and waves heard and obeyed Jesus, and “all was calm,” (Luke 8:25). Hear and obey Jesus. Experience his peace (John 16:33). 

To hear and obey God is the most important lesson we will ever learn and the most important lesson we will ever teach. Faith and obedience are deeply connected. Faith is believing that God’s words of truth and life are our best option. They are the best option not because we should be afraid of God for not doing what he says but because the best possible outcomes result from following God’s truth and wisdom. 

The Divine Designer has a divine design for our lives (Ephesians 2:10). He is Good and wants us to join him in expressing his goodness in all things at all times. 

Faith believes in God’s goodness, experiences God’s goodness, and spreads God’s goodness. 

This is a good day to live the good life. Enjoy God’s presence, God’s peace, God’s direction, and God’s provision.

I will hear, obey, and adjust my steps to God’s clear and good direction.

Our Father, you are good. Your words of truth and life are good. You provide all we need to live good lives and to spread your goodness. Empower us to step out in faith today trusting in the peace of your presence in all things at all times. Amen.
