“On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples: “Let us cross to the other side.” Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was. And other boats were with him. A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Quiet! Be still!” The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, “Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?” They were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?” -Mark 4:35-41
When we take Jesus with us into our souls, He rests easily within us. When we let the storms of life blow in and let the sea toss our souls, He is there. With faith and trust in Christ, we call to Him, and He says, “Quiet, Be still!”
Perhaps He speaks to the storm that rages, or He might talk directly to our souls. With the faith and trust that Christ is there with us, our souls will sail calmly through the most violent of storms.
