Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, Hope you and your families can join us for Sunday school (10am) and Worship (11am) at Cornerstone FWB tomorrow.
Mark 4:39-41: “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still… “And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?” “And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
The disciples, fearful for their lives, call out to Jesus Who is asleep. He arises and calms the storm, then He turns to His men and rebukes their lack of faith. He tells them that they were “fearful”, v. 40. This word means “Timid, afraid to the point of giving up.”
But, instead of criticizing these men for being afraid, maybe we should ask ourselves, “Why do we fear what we face in life?”
Often we, like these men, look at our storm and we tremble with fear. However, when we do what they did and involve the Lord in our storm, we find out that He is in control.
“DON’T TELL GOD how big your storm is — tell the storm HOW BIG YOUR GOD IS”!
