Standing Still, Growing Deep – Letting the Storm Shape You, Not Shake You

Sponsored by

Dear Family,

Last week, we found our footing again anchoring ourselves to the Rock that is Christ, trusting that even when the winds rage, our foundation holds firm. But what happens after you find that Rock? What do you do while the storm is still raging, and the skies haven’t cleared?

This week, we reflect on a deeper truth: it’s in the stillness, not the struggle, that your roots grow strong.

🌱 Stillness Isn’t Stagnation—It’s Strength

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.”
That’s not just a poetic suggestion—it’s a spiritual command. When we stand still in faith, we’re not doing nothing. We’re knowing something. We're declaring:

“I don’t have to fix this storm. I just have to trust the One who commands it.”

When life feels uncertain, the temptation is to move, fix, or control. But the deepest growth happens beneath the surface. When you resist the urge to run and instead lean into God’s presence, your spirit expands. Your trust matures.

🪨 Let the Storm Refine, Not Define

Storms reveal your foundation—but they also refine your faith.

📖 “The testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete.” – James 1:3–4

Being rooted doesn’t mean you’re unaffected. It means you’re unmoved. The winds may change your scenery, but they don’t have to change your soul. Your identity, your calling, your security—it all remains when it’s in Him.

💡 Reflection Questions:

  1. Where is God asking me to be still this week?

  2. What have I learned about my foundation during this season?

  3. How is God maturing me through perseverance?

🛠️ This Week’s Challenge: Grow Deeper, Not Louder

  • Journal your storm: What’s shaking you right now? Invite God into it.

  • Meditate on Psalm 62:1–2“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.”

  • Practice stillness for 10 minutes each morning. No phone. No agenda. Just presence.
