Storms of life can be so frightening. They send us in directions we weren't intending on going. In Acts, we see where the storms sent their ship off the course they were navigating. Yet where they landed, God used them mightily.
In Mark we see another storm that arose as Jesus and the disciples had embarked to go to the other side. As the storm worsened the disciples awoke Jesus to see if he even cared that they were going to drown. Jesus rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He proceeded to speak to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
To my friend that sent me beautiful scripture yesterday, thank you. As I spoke it over myself and reread it last night, it brought a calmness to the fear that was raging.
When Jesus speaks, there comes a calmness.
