Later that day, when evening came, Jesus said to them, “Let’s cross over to the other side of the lake.” They left the crowd and took him in the boat just as he was. Other boats followed along. Gale-force winds arose, and waves crashed against the boat so that the boat was swamped. But Jesus was in the rear of the boat, sleeping on a pillow. They woke him up and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re drowning?” He got up and gave orders to the wind, and he said to the lake, “Silence! Be still!” The wind settled down and there was a great calm. Jesus asked them, “Why are you frightened? Don’t you have faith yet?” Overcome with awe, they said to each other, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey him!” (Mark 4:35-41, CEB)
Don’t you have faith yet?
You have been with me all this time and yet you are worried that we will perish while I am sleeping…
Jesus was calm enough and at peace to sleep during the storm on the water. I have been in a storm on the water, in a small boat, and I would not have been able to sleep. The simple fact that Jesus is sleeping should be enough for the disciples.
Do we really have faith?
Sometimes I question my own belief in God. But I error on the side of love and trust.
Trust God. God is faithful.
Love like Jesus.
Loving People. Loving God.
