Stormy Seas

 

For the past week, television and social media have been filled with the terror of overseas war and state-side inconveniences like higher gas prices.  The constant updates about escalating tension can feel like being at the center of a roaring storm.   Jesus and his disciples found themselves in a boat in the midst of a storm.  As waves crashed into the boat, the disciples feared for their lives, but Jesus slept on a cushion in the stern of the boat.  The disciples woke Him and asked if He was scared for His life, and He said to the sea, "Peace.  Be still." and the wind ceased.  Jesus then reminded the disciples that faith in Him could quiet any storm.  Today, I hope you feel the peace that only Jesus can provide.
