The Storm…
The Storm…has no real chance in my life! Why? Because Jesus is on my boat! One of my favourite stories in the Bible is that the disciples were in a boat with Jesus sleeping in it somewhere. They got scared when the storm hit their boat. I can imagine – winds tossing them around, swirling waves, the boat filling with water, they got scared enough to wake him up…after he calms the storm He basically asks them “What’s up with your lack of faith – why so fearful?” what really explains things for me and how they could be worried when JESUS was with them, is HOW they woke him up – by asking Him “don’t you care if we die?”

You can have an experience with awesome miracles, you can be convinced of the reality of an All Powerful God – but you have to know Jesus personally to believe that He cares about you, and about your life – enough to trust that He is with you, like a real Captain. A Captain never abandons his crew, he goes down with His ship. That’s what Jesus did on the cross. Being filled with the Holy Spirit of God, He was was able to overcome even death! That’s the Jesus that I know. And the One who waits for you. No matter what storm is beating against your life, even if it’s howling inside of you, this is a promise to you, put your faith in Jesus and you will say the words of this story as a personal autobiography!! “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39 Amen!
