In the midst of a storm

Shalom.

When the disciples were trembling and possibly horrified by a storm while crossing the sea of Galilee, Jesus was sleeping peacefully at the back of the boat. The wind was howling and the waves were hitting the boat that they were on till a point they feared for their lives and woke Jesus up by shouting, "Master, don't you care that we are perishing?".

Jesus did something that was absoluteyl cool and awesome subsequently. He woke up. (just kidding) Jesus woke up and with a outstretched arm He calmed the storm by proclaiming, "Peace, be still.". And immediately, there storm ceased! There was perfect calm and the disciples didn't have to perish.

Some of us could be facing a storm that seems to have the power to totally destroy our lives. Beloved of the Lord, take heart for Jesus is with us. He'll never leave us nor forsake us. Look to Him for the answer to the storm and cease from all fears for He is willing and able to calm the storm in our lives. A stoke of His favour can transform our lives completely.

Regardless of the magnitude or severity of the storm we may be facing, behold Jesus and His finished work at the cross. For there lies our answer to our storm.
