Surviving the Storm

Last Sunday, our pastor taught from Mark 4:35-41. This is the story where Jesus is asleep in the boat and a storm comes up on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples went down and found Jesus asleep with his head on a pillow. They shouted, "Teacher do You not care that we are perishing?"
That was their perspective. We are perishing!!!! Jesus had such a different perspective. He spoke to the sea, "Peace, be still" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

It seems in these challenging, fightening times, we need to hear His words for our own lives. "Peace, be still."

Isaiah 43:2 (NKJ) "When you pass though the waters, I will be with you, And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you."

As Pastor Toti pointed out, it says "When" ... not "IF." We will walk through the waters and storms and fire. But HE will be with us.
