Do you have a storm in your life?

Mark4:35... He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side [of the Sea
of Galilee].” 37 And a fierce windstorm began to blow, and waves were
breaking over the boat, so that it was already being swamped. 38 But Jesus
was in the stern, asleep... And they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do
You not care that we are about to die?” 39 And He got up and [sternly]
rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still (muzzled)!” And the
wind died down [as if it had grown weary] and there was [at once] a great
calm [a perfect peacefulness].

Jesus never said to the disciples that we are going to go half way and
sink. Jesus said, "Let us go over to the other side". One thing that we can
know for sure, is that everyone will have a storm or two in there lives. It
seems that some, live in them more than others. As the disciples were in
the boat, and the waves were crashing, these experienced fishermen feared
for their lives. Jesus was asleep. When the disciples thought it was the
end, they cried out to Jesus, and Jesus awoke and rebuked the waves. No
matter what storm you are facing, death of a loved one, divorce, addiction,
sickness, a heavy burden, etc. Jesus is able to get you through it all.
Trust in Jesus to say to your storm at the perfect time, "Hush, be still",
and I pray that you experience a great calm and a perfect peacefulness from
God.
