The Sure Word for Today

Day 3: Faith That Stands Strong in Turbulent Times

Faith is not tested in calm waters but in raging storms. It is easy to believe when life is smooth, but true faith is proven when everything around you is shaking. Hebrews 11:1 reminds us, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith holds steady when sight fails.

The disciples feared for their lives during the storm, but Jesus asked them, “Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” (Mark 4:40). He was showing them that faith does not depend on circumstances. Faith stands on God’s Word even when the wind howls and the waves rise high. The storm may test you, but faith anchors you.

Today, choose to believe God’s promises more than you fear the storm. Let your faith declare that He is greater than the chaos and stronger than the wind. A storm may shake your surroundings, but it cannot shake the God who holds your life.
