14 The hairs of his head were white, like wool, look like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire,
15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his hand on me, saying, "Fear not, I am the first and the last,
18 "and living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

Proverbs 1:20-33
20 wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raised her voice;
21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:
22 "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers del light in their scoffing and fools hate knock knowledge?
23 "If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make words known to you.
24 "Because I have called and you have refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,
25 "Because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,
26 "I also will laugh at your calamity; I will l mock when terror strikes you,
27 "when terror strikes you like a storm and your call calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.
28 "then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.
29 "Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord,
30 "would have none of my counsel and despised all of my reproof,
31 "therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.
32 "For the simple are killed by turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them;
33 "but whoever listens to me will feel secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."

Day 7 - Remain quiet during your storms
Many times when we go through trials, we tend to immediately pick up the phone, speak with a friend or update our status bar to determine what to do. Before long, everybody knows you are going through it. You are no longer walking around with zeal, but wearing a ton of problems on your face. You seek the help of others before seeking the help of God.
As our scripture reads, be still and know He is God! It is important to understand you do not have to consult others without consulting Him first. He will tell you who to call, where to go or to simply be quiet and He promises to work for you.
Be still and quiet. I have to give credit to my uncle for the material for this day of the devotional. He is a very quiet man and most often when he faces trials our family never knows. More importantly, he walks in joy consistently. It is only after he is victorious; he shares his testimony with us.
Call upon Him. "And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me" (Psalm 50:15). You can begin to rejoice because it says in His Word; He will deliver you in the day of trouble! "He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor,"(Psalm 72:4). So there is no longer a need to worry. He says He will fight for you and tear those who have oppressed you in pieces!
Reflection: If you are facing a situation in your life, make a sound decision to keep the trial to yourself. Pray over it with God, recite and meditate on His scriptures and then and only then after the trial has passed share it with others in the form of a testimony.
