It’s not very often that we can sail through life without going through raging storms. Economic uncertainty, relationship issues, health concerns, and political/social upheaval raise our fears. And those are just the storms outside of us. What about the fears and worries that come against us from within ourselves?
The wind and sea were raging against their small boat. The disciples feared for their lives, but Jesus was resting comfortably. “And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we are perishing!’ And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm.” (Luke 8:24). When the world’s troubles rage against us, we can go to Jesus to find the peace, comfort, and calm that we desire.
