In Your Storm

Today, as we continue to Prepare 90 Days for Easter (P90E), we read Mark 4 and John 1.12-13 pondering on our relationship with the Father as His Child.  We also begin learning to memory Romans 1.16.  

I know that the greatest storms that people face are often very private ones.  Many times when a health concern is made known to others, there has already been a lot of suffering.  When marital failures are made known, there has already been a lot of difficulty.  When stress causes degradation in one of many ways, there has been a lot of heat before the boiling point was reached.  I know that many are in storms.  I know about some of those storms.  I do not know about most of them. Whether your storm is known by many or you are privately buffeted by the winds and rains of a personal storm, hold on to the truth found in Mark 4.37-39  -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.

The truth is that you are not in your storm alone.  Jesus is in your boat. He cares. Listen to His Voice and you shall find peace today.

  1. Thank you for your words. I am convicted at Jesus's question in vs. 40-"How is it that you have not faith?"
