Mark 4:39
Please notice here that the Lord Jesus does not simply cause the wind to stop blowing. He also immediately settles the waters. As we all know, you can throw a small pebble into a large lake and it will continue with a rippling effect for quite some time. Instead of the lake having to calm down of its own accord, the Lord Jesus calms it down by command. And why would he bother? Because, quite simply, this helped the disciples to calm down.
Bible Reading: Leviticus 8:1-10:20
Scripture Memory: 1 John 3:7 “Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.”
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you so much for caring even about the little things in our lives. You understand our deepest needs, and yet you tolerate our wants as well. You know what will bring the greatest peace to our heart. You understand our feelings, and you know how to help us with them. Sometimes you make the storm go away completely, as you did for the disciples that day. Other times you walk with us through the storm, as later in their lives when they were preaching for you. Either way, you take care of us. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
