-That cold front from Mt Hermon hitting that warm front from the Sea of Galilee made quit a squall. An impressive thunderstorm.
-Living in the south we would say, "It is coming
up a cloud." That meant you better get your clothes off the line quick.
-Professional
sailors, Peter, James and John, were scared to death. They knew
they had no control over that storm and
thought Jesus didn’t.
-Before
the storm, I sense have control. I
got this, I have sailed before. But when the storm hits I realize I really never had that much control.
-Jesus
was asleep, why? He knew the strength and love of his Father.
One thing God has spoken, two
things have I heard: that you, O God, are
strong, 12and that you, O Lord, are
loving.
-Jesus knew that He and The Father were strong and loving. The storm was never beyond God's power. And just because Jesus was in the storm did not mean God didn't care.
-The South
goes crazy over snowstorms. We buy the grocery store out of milk and bread at the hint of a half an inch of snow. The North
goes crazy over rainstorms. We hide in our basments, cancel school, and the news follows rain clouds all across West Michigan for 2 hours interrupting whatever was on television with reports of rain.
-We
all have a storm we panic over.
-But Jesus is never panicked. He whispers to us how much he loves us no matter the storm we are facing. He is stronger than any storm we go through.
-One day, at just the right time, he will awaken and command the storm, "Be Quiet, Be Still!" And the storm like an unruly 3 year old will have to obey and be a complaint child.
