Numbers 17; Numbers 18; Psalm 29; Mark 4
“Who Is This Man?”
They Asked Each Other.
“Even The Wind And Waves Obey Him!”
Scripture
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. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”
Observation
“Even
the wind and waves obey Him?” Who is this Man? His name is Jesus!
He
can also calm every storm that comes into over lives.
We
can criticize the disciples for their lack of faith, but you and I do the same
thing every day. Every time we worry rather than pray we are acting exactly as
the disciples did that night in the boat.
When
they finally went to Jesus He calmed the storm. Sometimes you and I wait until
the very last moment before we go to Jesus with our problems. We try everything
else first then we go to God.
Hmmm…what
would happen if we would just go to Him first? It would save us a lot of
anxiety wouldn’t it?
What
is going on in your life right now? Got some storms … some rough water? Are you
being tossed around? Are you drowning? Jesus does care. Why not take those
worries to Him right now.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
Application
I will take all my concerns to the Lord today because He
cares about me.
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that I read this passage for a reason today. I will cast all of
my cares upon You because I know that You care about me. Be with those that are
carrying heavy burdens today. I pray that they roll them off unto You.
