Jesus Calms the Storm

 ²² One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. ²³ As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
 ²⁴ The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”
   He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. ²⁵ “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples.

All negativities, all fear, loneliness, helplessness, anxiety about the future, or even when I am in danger, all these will dispel because you are in my boat. Therefore I want to have a break through in my thinking, no matter what challenges I may face (or challenges that I am facing now, name it……), I don’t want to limit myself by my sight. I want to live by faith not by sight, because you are in the same boat with me, therefore you will rebuke the wind and calm the ranging waters. You are Lord of lords and King of kings, therefore even the storm has to obey you. Praise the Lord!
