Mark 4: 39 Then he got up,
rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still! "The wind
ceased and there was a great calm.
What do you do when
the storms of life are raging all around you? In Mark we read how Jesus
accompanied the disciples in a boat onto the sea. Most of us would feel very
safe with him with us in the boat, right? Well, the disciples were probably
relieved too. However, the same disciples panicked when the storm raged and
they were fearing for their lives. Suddenly Jesus’ presence wasn’t enough, they
wanted to see him in action. "Jesus
get up. How can you sleep? Jesus, surely
you can do something." Jesus spoke
and calmed the storm.
Now for the surprise
... you will not be overwhelmed by anxiety and fear. Just as Jesus spoke to the
storm, you can too. Really! The Bible teaches us that the same spirit that
raised God from the dead, is within us. He lives in us, and He empowers us to
experience victory in every aspect of our lives. Calm the storm yourself.
Amazing, hey!
