Opening Verse
“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”
Psalm 16:11 (KJV)
Introduction
Life can feel like a whirlwind. You move from one task to the next, sometimes without a break, wondering if any of it has purpose. But in the middle of that storm, God may be working through you in ways you can’t see. Sometimes, your calm faith in chaos becomes the very direction someone else needs.
Devotional Story
Pablo didn’t think he was leading anyone. He was just trying to stay focused and get through each day. His job had him working with all kinds of people, each with their own needs and attitudes. Some were loud. Some were lost. And most days, Pablo barely had time to catch his breath.
Then came the dream.
He was on a small island, surrounded by water, gliding in a boat toward another island. He wasn’t alone. The boat was filling up with strangers. None of them spoke, but they looked to him. Not for answers, but for calm. For direction. For steady hands in uncertain waters.
In the dream, he felt unprepared. But he kept rowing. He didn’t shout instructions. He just moved forward. And somehow, that was enough.
When he woke up, he couldn’t shake the feeling. God was showing him something: Pablo wasn’t just surviving the chaos. He was guiding others through it — not by talking, but by trusting.
What This Means
You don’t always know who’s watching. When you keep your peace in the storm, when you do your work without complaining, when you trust God even in pressure — others see it. Pablo’s dream was a glimpse of reality: God places you in busy places for a reason. The islands may change, but the calling remains.
Your presence may be someone’s anchor. Your faith may be someone’s reminder to hope again. You don’t need a stage. Just obedience.
Think About This
-
Are you treating your daily grind like it’s disconnected from God’s plan?
-
Could your quiet endurance be the answer to someone’s silent prayer?
-
What if God is using your movement between “islands” to lead others toward Him?
Prayer
Father, I don’t always understand why You place me where You do. But I trust You. Help me to stay steady in the chaos. Let my life point others to You, even when I feel unqualified. Use my calm to bring peace. Use my faith to lead. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Closing Verse
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”
Proverbs 3:6 (KJV)
