Mark 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
There were overwhelmed in the storms and the fear of it. They were so afraid of dying, that they forgot the presence of Jesus (the creator of storms ) in the midst of it all. At that point nothing made sense except how to struggle out of it.
Are you in a storm right now in your marriage, career, health, academics or ministry? Jesus has a question for you: why are you afraid? This question is rhetorical and connotes the fact that there's nothing to fear when the Master is still with us. It's amazing to know that there's no time Jesus has been with us more than now because He's omnipresent through the personality of the Holy Spirit.
Have faith in God, stop focusing on the storms: focus on Jesus. Don't allow the enemy defeat you through your fear, defeat him with your faith. You are created to win.
Let's pray together.
Powerful Father, thank you for calming the storms in our lives. Please touch every troubled heart and give them boldness to stand in you, in Jesus name. Amen.
