Storms take many different forms. Dangerous weather patterns are a form. But raging anger, out of control emotions, irrational fear, paralyzing doubt are others.
Whatever storm you’re facing, you are not alone. God is with you! The power of God is present to still the chaos and restore order.
In Psalms we read about those who turn to God for help in the middle of distress:
“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves” (Psalms 107:28,29, NLT)
To demonstrate dominion, put self-concern aside. Shut down material sense. Commune with spiritual sense. Let God’s Truth take over your perspective, and you’ll find the storms of mortal mind calming down around you. A path to safety will open before your eyes. Peace takes over.
The storm that appeared so awful will be reduced to a whisper—no longer of any consequence.
Evan – Thanks for today’s wonderful blog. Just to let you know, the link to this blog in your daily email is incorrect, it’s taking me to Rockridge Little School … might be worth re-sending it with an updated link.
I experienced the same misleading, except it took me to Biotech.
Yes. It took me to Thanksgiving recipes.
Me too. The link took me to some ad for vacationing in southern Florida.
Yes, thank you for this, Evan. A much needed message after yesterday’s tragedies. The link took me to some ad for vacationing in southern Florida.
I love this idea and it absolutely met my need today! The storm of mortal sense tries to bring about worry, fear and uncertainty but we can instead listen to the ‘calm, strong currents’ of Truth and feel the peace that is innately ours.
Like David, the link in the email took me elsewhere (in fact, to South Florida Commercial Real Estate News!)
It takes me to the story of Elijah being told to stand
on the rock before the Lord, and the Lord went before him, and there was an earthquake, wind and fire – but God was not in any of them,
I love the Hymn 148 – In heavenly Love abiding.
Part of the 3rd verse sings:
The storm may roar without me, / My heart may low be laid; / But God is round about me, / And can I be dismayed?
There are no storms in Mind to upset God’s peace and harmony, and that is where we swell which God all
around us to protect us from all kinds of storms.
Lovely Maggie.
You always seem to beautifully and thoughtfully enlarge Evan’s initiating message.
Thank you so much Evan and Maggie. B.x
CORRECTION I have just re-read what I said- of coutse, the word “swell” should read :”dwell”
We don’t ;swell; with God, but “dwell” with him !!!1 Sorry about that, but I hope you
realised what I meant.:
This happened to me, too. I know it will clear up.
Love,Angela
It took me to POLITICAL WIRE lol. Just what I need….not
by the way I got there through the actual spirit view app. but trying to get their via the email link did not work. FYI.
In the Bible Lesson this week is this:
—————–
When it is learned that the spiritual sense, and not the material, conveys the impressions of Mind to man, then being will be understood and found to be harmonious.
Spirit’s senses are without pain, and they are forever at peace. Nothing can hide from them the harmony of all things and the might and permanence of Truth.
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, page 214:14,32
—————–
Reading that made me realize that whatever discord the material senses may present, when we shut out that perspective from thought and instead realize through prayer the “counterfact” (or accept what God is knowing), that spiritual sense perspective will become reality to us and the illusion of discord is “silenced”. That approach works for any discord because discord is not real and is just a suggestion that there is something/someone outside the control of God, ever-present Love.

I got a chuckle out of all the different places email got diverted to for readers…but no one was fooled (just like with mortal sense) and everyone made their way to ‘SpiritView’! 🙂
love ❤️ your response
Today’s calming message is so very helpful, with it being 9/11 and after the
beliefs of mortal mind trying to be so prevalent these days. It helps to know
that what is perceived in such atrocities can be soothed, and seeing our fellow
children of God as they truly are, rather than what they appear to be. Having
had known several friends who were affected by 9/11 and one having passed
on to a realm we can not see from “mortal” view, today’s message resonates
in this reflection of Life eternal. Tributes shared of the most recent senseless
acts of mortal mind’s attempt to see things in a more “physical” light rather
than through the lens of spirit, help also, to focus on the Good, rather than
the evil. I always look for a rainbow, when the sun comes out, after a storm
and the photo above is so beautiful in corresponding with today’s message.
I am so much in appreciation of the Love expressed.
looks like someone got hacked by Christian science
was looking forward to daily reflection with Jem orthe good deacon. Lord, what are we going to do today .
Hi Everyone,
Yes, there was a glitch in the notification that came out today. A problem with the title link. I’m working with tech to figure out what happened. Everything is fine on the website of SpiritView.
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
In a wildfire, a firestorm , the embers can travel through the air and when they land they create spot fires. Spot fires are smaller than the main blaze, however the embers that cause them can jump natural barriers and cause the fire to spread or even increase the size of the main fire. Today , in wake of yesterday’s shooting events, we need to check ourselves to make sure we are not allowing destructive embers of thought to go out and create spot fires. Human opinion can be like a match to dry grass. We would do well to exercise dominion over suggestions to engage in polarization and to remember that Mind is the true source of our thoughts and being.
Thank you do very much for these calming and encouraging thoughts. I’m grateful to have everyone’s supportive thoughts. I’m really being challenged right now, but this encourages me to Be still, and know who is really in charge of things
