Storms come in lifeโstrong winds, crashing waves, things we never expected. Godโs Word tells us that one day Jesus said to His disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, โ'Let us go across to the other side.โ And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat...And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, โTeacher, do you not care that we are perishing?โ And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, โPeace! Be still!โ And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, โWhy are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?โ And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, โWho then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?โโ (Mark 4:35-41). Be assured todayโGod is not sleeping. Whatever comes, He is there and can speak "Peace be still" to troubled and fearful souls. Ask Him for His help in whatever storm youโre facing right now.
