In the mid -1970s, Steven Spielberg produced a film called “Jose”, a fictional story of a demon shark, which dined with swimmers on the banks of New England. A prestigious scene consists of a crusty boat captain, police chief and a scientist. They were set on the captain’s fishing boat in search of sharks. No one had seen it earlier. When these three people did, they almost got scared. The police chief gave one of the most famous lines in cinema history: “You need a big boat!”
There was no danger of his craft. Suppose the three people were riding in a big vessel: Siwaiz Vishal. It was the largest ship ever, which were more than four football grounds in length. It weighed over 564,000 tonnes.

If all three people had seen the huge shark from the deck of the oil tanker, their reaction would have been different. He must have seen the shark, talked about it, probably took pictures of it. But did he feared that they used to do in a small vessel? No, they felt safe in a big pot.
The sea of life is floating with sharks. They attack, gauge and eat. But they cannot destroy you. Why? Because you are on the pot called called Surviving godYou are safe in their hands, installed in their plans, and maintained in their grace.
Max Lucado: Finding peace and trust in God in the middle of the storm
If you believe that you face your problems alone, you will never get deep and permanent peace. On the other hand, if you believe that you face your challenges In the Lord– In the presence of God, in the name of the Lord, in the power of God, in the safety of the Lord – then you may be full of joy because you are full of God.
The sea of life is floating with sharks. They attack, gauge and eat. But they cannot destroy you.
Jesus provides this assurance: “Peace I leave with you, I give you peace to you; as the world gives me that I give you. Do not let your hearts upset, nor fear it” (John 14:27, NKJV).
Jesus is contrary to two types of peace – gives peace to the world and she provides peace.
“Tem Your Thoughts” by Max Lucado was published on August 12, 2025 by Thomas Nelson. (Thomas Nelson)
The peace that the world provides depends on the situation. If the weather is correct. If the traffic is light. If the stock market is up. If the number of cholesterol is below. If the spouse is happy. If the flight is on time. If. If. If. If.
You need to know about God’s miraculous ‘whatever’ policy
Is your peace “if” peace?
Exchange “If” peace “her” peace.
“I give you my peace.”
Jesus provides His Calmness! To be clear, he does not offer peace Like His. He provides his great peace!
I saw an image of peace in Chicago O’Hare. The airport atmosphere was anything but peaceful. Thunder was audible outside. The tension was inside. The hour was late, and we passengers were not happy. Until the sky is cleaned, we will search for the hotel room and the next day flights.
Oh, fierce.

I was doing my share. Airport meal again? Grrr.
Everyone was upset. Well, almost everyone. I heard someone singing. A mother and her baby were sitting a few feet away. A blanket covered a nursing child. It was clear for me that the most quiet person in the seating area was a child, only a few months old.
The child had peace because she was the mother of the child. The child had the peace of the mother – the heat of the mother’s body, the nutrition of the mother’s milk, the comfort of the mother’s song, the presence of the mother.
The child’s arms will burst the child, fear. But since the child was near the mother, the child was the calm person in the airport.
As you imagine the view of the airport, are you frantic, Concerned passenger Or relaxing baby?

What God gives us to that child, we yearn to give us. his warmth. His nutrition. His assurance. We may have peace of Jesus. We can uproot the ideas of destruction and change them with such truths: “The peace of God, which all goes beyond comprehension, will protect your hearts” (Phil. 4: 7 NKJV).
When your heart needs peace, trust God.
