And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered. -Mark 6:51

“Lessons from the storm.”

Good morning and TGIF!  As I examined this story I find some correlation between it and the story of Jesus calming another storm. 

In that storm the disciples were in the boat with Jesus when the storm began. As the disciples worked to steady up the boat Jesus was in the interior of the boat sleeping. 

The disciples panicked and called out asking if Jesus cared about them. The Lord got up, hushed the storm by first saying peace and then said be still. Therein is the differences in how he handled this storm in Mark 6. 

Jesus didn’t calm this storm by speaking to it. He instead got into the boat and the storm calmed. When Jesus comes merely His presence is enough to calm storms in your life. 

Beloved if your hearts cry invokes His presence, His Shekinah doesn’t have to speak loud or even much. He doesn’t have to make mud cakes, wave a hand, wink an eye, shrug a shoulder, blow on you or any other gesture…simply showing up means He will show out…

Go fellowship this weekend, we all need it. 

God bless you and command your day!!!
