(TEXT : Mark 4:39)
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
FOCUS :
As believers the world we are passing through is full with all kinds of storms; and in other for us to pass into our “peace”, there will be need for us to face the test (storm). The fact that Jesus is in boat, does not mean, that we will not face storm or temptations in the journey of life. The word “boat” here could be referred to as in our (marriage, ministry, relationship, fellowship, even in our business); when the storm comes we should not panic but to stay calm.
Psalms 107:28-31 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
In addition, God have purpose for your life and that is why He won’t allow you to perish in that present storm of yours. Though, the storm might persistently coming towards your direction, don’t be weak in your prayer and you should wax stronger in the place of seeking for God’s peace, then your peace will be automatically and comprehensively overshadow your storm.
John 16:32-33 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Finally, don’t be tired and never give up in you seeking after God, even when the storm seems to be consistent and pushing you beyond the limit of your Faith. The storm is the part of the journey of our Faith, but the peace will come when we keep trusting in Him who is our “PRINCE OF PEACE.” When the Prince of Peace is in your boat, you have the assurance of not sinking in the storm. But the storm will surely come!
John 14:1, 27 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
