Day 3 — July 2, 2025
THE STORM STILL OBEYS HIM
Today’s Scripture:
Psalm 89:9 (NLT) –
“You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, You still them.”
Key Point:
No storm you’ve walked through—or are in right now—is stronger than the voice of Jesus.
Storms don’t just shake your world.
They answer to His authority.
Devotional Thought:
Some of us know storms by name.
Addiction. Domestic violence. Sexual abuse. Relapse. Rejection. Grief. Depression. Shame.
Some of us were born into storms.
And we’ve been fighting to survive ever since.
We’ve learned how to fake smiles while silently drowning.
We’ve learned how to stay busy so we don’t have to face the storm still raging inside.
We’ve cried out, “Jesus, when will it stop?!”
But sis, here’s the truth that today’s scripture is screaming into your storm:
It still obeys Him.
That addiction that held you hostage?
That anxiety that won’t let you sleep?
That past trauma that replays in your mind like a broken record?
It all still obeys the voice of Jesus.
He doesn’t just calm the storm.
He commands it.
He doesn’t just ride the waves with you — He rules over them.
You don’t serve a distant Savior.
You serve the King of the sea — and when He speaks, every storm must sit down.
To Every Woman of Encouraging Her Resilience:
Maybe you’re in the middle of a storm right now.
One no one sees. One you can’t even explain.
Maybe it’s in your mind. Your heart. Your house. Your relationships.
Maybe it feels like it’s too late.
But hear me:
It’s not too late when Jesus steps in.
And He has authority over every storm that ever tried to take you out.
You don’t have to fight for control.
You just have to trust the One who already has it.
Speak This Out Loud Today:
“The storm obeys Jesus. I refuse to fear what He already rules.”
Say it like your freedom depends on it—because it does.
Challenge for Today:
Write down every area in your life that feels out of control —
Your emotions, your finances, your healing, your home, your faith walk.
Then, over each one, write these words in bold:
“This still obeys Jesus.”
Then take it to prayer and surrender it back to the One who commands peace.
Prayer for Today:
Jesus, I’ve been battling storms that I was never meant to carry alone.
Today, I surrender every wave, every fear, every part of me that feels overwhelmed.
You are not just my Savior — You are the One who commands the sea.
You speak, and the storm has no choice but to be still.
Speak peace over my chaos.
Speak calm over my confusion.
Speak light into my darkness.
I trust You to silence the storm in me.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
