MASTER OF THE WIND

MASTER OF THE WIND

Mark 4:35-41 

"On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."
And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"
And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"

The disciples MUST have not realized that "This Man" was The Creator in the flesh!  JESUS asked them "Have you STILL no faith?". I have been here with you, yet you STILL doubt me! 

I am the same way!  Whenever the "waves" start breaking into my boat I start crying out to JESUS about how HE needs to save me!  I want to jump in the "Easy Believe-ism" boat that some TV preachers preach about.  

GOD does not promise a life of luxury when we serve HIM.  HE promises to always be with us.  

LORD, help make me into someone who does not look at the "storm" around me, but the "Master of the Wind"!
