Storm, Be Still!

What did make the disciples be terrified in the midst of storm control? The answer is Jesus. They feared exceedingly, discovering Jesus who literally calmed down the squall in a flash, in the twinkling of eye. It blew their minds and was beyond the understandings. This incident is so important to understand for the disciples of Jesus. What is happening in the physical level is also happening in the spiritual level as well. So, the storm can be your inner troubles and turmoil going on right now. It may be anger, revenge, frustration, depression, sense of injustice, abandonment, relentless lust, murder, and all kind of evil. It plainly does not go away but haunt you especially when you want to start a clean day or even life all over again. Probably it could be right after the service. That is what our Lord Jesus wants His disciples to learn here.

There is One who is in control of all kinds of storms by His words. When He spoke, the wind obeyed immediately. All power in heaven and on earth is given unto the Son Jesus by the Father in heaven, Jesus says (Matthew 28:18). Jesus promises His disciples whatever they pray in His name will be answered by the Father immediately (Luke 18:7-8). Jesus answers our prayers. The question is "Do you believe in Him?

"He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” (Mark 4:39-41 NIV)
