Mark 4:35-41

Mark 4:35 Late that day he said to them, "Let's go across to the other side."
Mark 4:36 They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along.
Mark 4:37 A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it.
Mark 4:38 And Jesus was in the stern, head on a pillow, sleeping! They roused him, saying, "Teacher, is it nothing to you that we're going down?"
Mark 4:39 Awake now, he told the wind to pipe down and said to the sea, "Quiet! Settle down!" The wind ran out of breath; the sea became smooth as glass.
Mark 4:40 Jesus reprimanded the disciples: "Why are you such cowards? Don't you have any faith at all?"
Mark 4:41 They were in absolute awe, staggered. "Who is this, anyway?" they asked. "Wind and sea at his beck and call!"

O Lord our God, how magnificent is Thy name on all the earth. In every single nation of the earth Your name will be glorified and praised. Even in remote places they will lift your name on high. Love to the lovless shown everywhere. Huge waves will not deter You or anyone else on going to preach, teach and acknowledge that God is to be worshiped and adored. Jesus, sleeping in peace while the torment came along. Everyone was so scared and afraid to die. Call on the Lord who is worthy of all praise. Jesus calmed the storm and peace came to their heart. Praise and honor be unto Him now and forever more. Amen

Sleep in peace my dear one. No one will bother you anymore. Those were the last words I heard mother said to me before I went to bed. At the end of her days, I had to say to her the same words. Jesus was sleep in the boat, satan did not want Him to preach or teach great things from heaven so he made storm so fierce and so fearful to those disciples. They went to wake up Jesus and tell Him that they are going to die because of the storm. Jesus, full of compassion and kindness to all went on top of the boat and said. Be ye calm. The storm heard the voice of the Lord and peace came to them. All glory, all honor and all praise shall be unto Him who is worthy of all glory. He really can do the impossible.

 

[RevJohansen]

The power of the living God. Even the waves of the ocean hear the voice of Its creator. Would people hear the call from heaven? Come unto Me. I will give you rest. O Lord, hear us and help us, save those who are living so far away from You. Send healing and mercy on those who are ill and dying. In Jesus name. Amen

Wonderful passage. We often associate faith with belief and seldom anti-fear. Jesus clearly makes this link by implying that cowardness depletes faith.
So much trouble whirling around us, don't fear have faith.
