“Who
Is This Man?”
They
Asked Each Other.
“Even
The Wind And Waves Obey Him!”
Scripture
Mark
4
35 As
evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to
the other side of the lake.”
36 So they
took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind
(although other boats followed).
37 But soon
a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and
it began to fill with water.
38 Jesus was
sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The
disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that
we’re going to drown?”
39 When
Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence!
Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great
calm.
41 The
disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they
asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”
Observation
Maybe
you, like the disciples of Jesus, are going through a rough time and
maybe you too feel like you are about to sink.
Yesterday,
was a difficult day at the Williams' house.
We
kept getting text messages from our daughter Debby asking us if she
should go to the emergency room. She had been sick for about 2 weeks
and instead of getting better she had gotten worse.
Finally
late in the afternoon yesterday she went to Urgent Care and they
told her to go to the emergency room. They admitted her last night to
treat her for pneumonia. She was one sick girl when we saw her in the
emergency room.
I
was glad to hear my daughter say to us last night as we were visiting
her in the ER, “I prayed and I asked the Lord to show me whether I
needed to go to the hospital or not.”
I
am so glad that my daughter relied on the 'One' who with a word calms
the wind and the seas.
Yes,
her Mom and Dad were also praying, we were crying out to God to help
our daughter.
Application
Thank
You, Lord, that You always hear my prayers!
How
about you? Who are you calling on to help you in times of trouble?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for helping our daughter with the decision of
whether or not to go to the hospital. I pray and ask You to heal her
completely. Meet every need of her life. Show her that You are able
and willing to take care of her.
I
pray for any person reading this blog today. Help them to trust You
with the storms that they are facing. Give them Your strength. Help
them to trust completely in You!
