Jesus Calms the Storm
Jesus and His disciples boarded a ship to cross the Sea of Galilee. As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep and a great storm arose. The wind blew and waves covered the ship. Jesus' disciples thought they were going to be killed, so they awoke Jesus and cried, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?"
Jesus said, "Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?" "[Then] he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm".
When the storm ceased, the disciples were amazed and said, "What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
Think about the words to the chorus of the hymn 'Master the Tempest is Raging'. Christ's peace and power can calm the storms in each of our lives.
The winds and the waves shall obey thy will:
Peace, be still.
Whether the wrath of the storm-tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be,
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of ocean and earth and skies.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, be still; peace, be still.
They all shall sweetly obey thy will:
Peace, peace, be still.
