Peace

Mark 4:35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, "Let us cross over to the other side." 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 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?" 39 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. 40 But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?" 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!"

Have you ever wondered why Jesus rebuked the disciples here. Who among us has never been frightened by a powerful storm?

Look at vs 35 again. You see the Word made flesh said, "We're going to the other side". He didn't say, "We're going part way across the lake and then die by storm."

That is why God cannot lie. What He says happens.

Today, may His overwhelming peace flood your soul. Take time to think about some of the other things He said would happen, ie., His promises.

Love in Christ,
