the storms of life

If you are not familiar with the story in Mark 4 of Jesus calming the sea, you should check it out! There the disciples were being flung from one side of the boat to the other, scared for their lives, the winds and seas are tossing their boat, and they are on the verge of death. real stuff. These brothers weren't afraid of a little storm--they were fishermen. They knew when to press on and when to fear for their lives. This was one of those "fear for your life" kind of moments. What was Jesus doing? Sleeping?! How can that be? Because Jesus knew who was really in control. Do you? Stress attacks us daily. It haunts us in the morning, afternoon and evening. But our Lord Jesus has the control to say, "Peace, be still." Do you trust him to know when to do that? Trust him. He can calm your storms.
