Mark 4:38
The irony here only serves to illustrate our common state of mind. The disciples fully realized that Jesus was and is the Lord. They knew that it would be inconsistent with his power and person to simply allow himself and all those on the boat with him to sink to the bottom. Yet they word their question in such a way as we see here.
We have this tendency to dishonor God by our questions when we do not understand his plan. His ways, being inscrutable to us, often seem more than strange to us. As a result, we will say things that are ill advised. And the Lord, in his patience, corrects us.
Bible Reading: Leviticus 5:1-7:38
Scripture Memory: 1 John 3:6 “Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for the way that you handle our shortcomings. Though the time of your wrath will surely come for those who are willfully disobedient, your merciful way of handling us is so kind. You give us a chance to get ourselves right with you. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
