Cushion of the sea

Isaiah 26:3  (ESV)

You keep him in perfect peace

    whose mind is stayed on you,

    because he trusts in you.

The captain of a submarine was once asked, "How did the terrible storm last night affect you?" The officer looked at him in surprise and exclaimed, "Storm? We didn't even know there was one!"

There is an area beneath the surface of the ocean known to sailors as the "cushion of the sea". In this place, although the ocean may be raging terribly above, the waters here are never stirred.

There is a place, a wonderful place, we can go to find refuge during the frightening storms raging above us -- a place where we don't feel a thing -- no fear, no worry for tomorrow.

Let's get down there today. Let's find that perfect peace the Lord intends for everyone who trusts in Him.

Dear Lord, we thank You that You have for us a place that we can go during the raging storms of life. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
