The Storm

The Storm

When the storms of life come, and they surely will, what do you do?  You can either have peace in the midst of the storm or you can worry.  Now I don’t know about you; but worry has never helped me.  Jesus said to His disciples, (and I’m paraphrasing) ‘Get in the boat and let’s go to the other side.’  When the storm arose and they were in peril, they called on Jesus and He calmed the storm.  There are some parallels for us.  When Jesus says get in the boat, He wants you to join Him and He will safely take you to the other side.  He will calm you in the midst of the storms of your life. 

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Psalmist records, “Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.  But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.  And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.” Luke 8:22-24 (KJV)
