Mark 4:35-41
Dear brethren,
Good morning my brethren. It is my hope and prayer that this morning passage finds you doing well. Here in Oklahoma, I awoke to the sound of thunder, wind, and rain. However, it seems that the short lived storm has passed on to another area.
As I listened to the rain, I was reminded of the story of Jesus sleeping during a great storm while His disciples were frightened. Within the story I saw several lessons, too numerous to address in this post. However, I will share with you one main lesson to remember as you begin your day.
Jesus slept during the storm. Jesus knew that the storm was nothing over which He should worry. However, His disciples believed otherwise. During our lives, we will face many storms. Before we begin to fret and worry, causing extra hardship upon ourselves, let us consider the storm. Will it pass? Surely all storms pass. Will it really harm us? Most storms leave us shaken, but unharmed. But, even if the storm of life is devasting, it truly has no power over us. We must turn to our Lord and Savior and trust Him to deliver us through the stormy nights of our lives. Listen to and trust His words, "Peace, be still!"
Here is Mark 4:35-41 presented for your reading and your consideration.
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side."
36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him.
37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"
39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace, be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
40 But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"
In Love,
John Duvall
