The Wind Ceased And There Was A Great Calm

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.

            Jesus went in a boat with the disciples in the sea of Galilee to cross over the other side. Suddenly a great storm arose and the boat was covered with the waves. The disciples were filled with fear, lacked faith and they awoke Jesus who was asleep. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” - Matthew 8:24,25. 

               Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the sea to be still, the wind ceased and there was a great and complete calm.  He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm - Mathew 8:26. He calms the storm, So that its waves are still. Then they are glad because they are quiet - Psalm 107:29,30. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast - Psalm 33:9. The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” - Matthew 8:27.        

             Let us also speak to every problem in our life with faith instead of being fearful and there will be a great calm and peace. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid - John14:27. I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you - Mathew 7:20. Be still, and know that I am God - Psalm 46:10.                                                                       

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for calming all the storms in our life and giving us peace. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
