SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
He [Jesus] got up, rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still!” THe wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Then He said to them, “why were you fearful? Do you still have no faith”. (Mark 4:39-40 Holman)
OBSERVATION:
Jesus had been asleep in the boat as the sea became treachous. The disiples (many fishermen) grow fearful and call out to Jesus. Jesus calms the storm then addresses the lack of faith in the disciples.
APPLICATION:
One would think the disciples should be able to handle the storm on their own. Are we any different? We think we can handle the storms of life on our own. It is only when the proverbial boat starts to sink and all seems lost do we cry out to Jesus. The Good News is He is already there. If we would ask for help at the beginning of trouble rather than later the storms of life might seem less dangerous.
PRAYER:
Lord, forgive me for when I have tried to sail through the storms of life without you. And Lord thank you for always hearing my cry for help.
YES:
I will seek the Lord’s help in all situations.
