How often does it seem that you are "in a storm" in life...not just a weather based storm...but personal storms? There are health storms, relationship storms, identity crises, employment/unemployment issues. In fact, at any given time, each of us is probably going through one or more storms. If we're not, life may be a bit too dull!
-
When you are in the storm there is a feeling that the storm is bigger than you are and beyond your control. And the consequences of damage and destruction can be unknown and fearful.
-
There is no storm that Jesus is not able to quiet. There are no variables or factors or forces that are beyond His command. And, when we have been born into His Kingdom...his family, He is aware of our storms and cares for the things that cause our cares.
-
1 Peter 5:7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
-
Picture yourself in the same boat as Jesus...picture a storm coming as you are in the boat together....
-
Mark 4: 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" 39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?" 41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
-
Why...He is the one whom we also should obey and follow, for the storms bow before His command!
-
blessings!
