Let Us Cross Over To The Other Side

 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” -Mark 4L35.

             There was a great windstorm in the sea when Jesus and his disciples were crossing the other side of the sea. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” - Mark 4:37, 38. Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the sea to be in peace and be still. Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm - Mark 4:39. Immediately, the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

              The disciples were so fearful when they saw the great windstorm even though they are in the God’s plan of crossing over the other side. But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” - Mark 4:40. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind - 2 Timothy 1:7. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go - Joshua 1:9.

             There is no need to fear about anything as God is with us always. Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you - Deuteronomy 31:6. Let us face all situations boldly with faith as all things are possible with our Mighty God. And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!” - Mark 4:41. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast - Psalm 33:9.                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to overcome our fear by faith. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
