Jesus Calms the Storm

Jesus Calms the Storm

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Did you notice? When the disciples first got into the boat, the sea was calm, and Jesus told them they were going to the other side. He never promised the journey would be storm-free—only that they would arrive.

So often, when the storms of life arise, we forget His promises and begin to wonder if He has abandoned us. But Jesus is faithful. His Word never changes, even when the winds and waves do.

Today, hold on to His promises, no matter what storm you're facing. The One who called you into the boat is the same One who will bring you safely to the other side.
