The disciples werenât just afraid of the storm.
They were upset that Jesus wasnât doing anything about it.
While the wind was raging and the waves were crashing into the boat, Jesus was asleep.
So they woke Him and said, âMaster, donât You care that we are perishing?â
But what they forgot was what Jesus had already said before they ever got in the boat:
âLet us go to the other side.â
That word should have settled the issue.
The storm didnât change the destination.
The storm didnât cancel the promise.
Jesus stood up and said, âPeace, be still.â
Then He turned to the disciples and asked, âWhy are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?â
Instead of getting upset that Jesus wasnât doing something about the storm, they should have been standing on what He saidâthat they are going to the other sideâand responding to the storm in faith.
Many believers are doing the same thing today.
Theyâre waiting for Jesus to do something when Heâs already spoken.
Jesus said, âWhoever says to this mountain, âBe removed and be cast into the sea,â and does not doubt in his heart, but believes, he will have whatever he says.â (Mark 11:23)
Jesus has given us His Word, His name, and His authority.
The question isnât always, âWhy isnât Jesus doing something?â
Sometimes the question is, âWhat has Jesus already said, and am I willing to believe it enough to speak and act on it?â
Speak to the storm, the mountain, the issue, the problem.
Speak the Word of God over your situation.
Jesus said that whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Heaven backs words of faith that are spoken in agreement with Godâs Word.
Donât let the storm have the final say.
Stand on what Jesus has already said, speak in faith, and trust Him to confirm His Word.
