In Mark 4:35-41, we find Jesus’ disciples over-whelmed with fear in the midst of a violent storm that threatened to capsize their boat. Some were seasoned fishermen who had weathered a storm or two in their time, and yet there was something different about this storm. How does Jesus respond to the disciples’ cries for help? He said, “Quiet! Be still!” and then all was miraculously calm. He then asks His disciples, "Why are you so afraid?". What are the ‘storms’ in your life? Do you respond to them with fear or do you fully recognize and rely on the One who promises to journey with you through the ‘storms’?
