My Storms, My Fear, His Peace

Mark's biblical account of Christ's ministry teaches us an invaluable lesson about the Master. One verse in Mark 4 reads: "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm" (Mark 4:39). As we navigate through the storms of life, we must remember that Christ is in our ship, and that He is all-powerful. He truly can do all things. If we ask Him, "all things are possible..." and He will turn our worldly fears into godly fear. He will calm our souls and our lives. Christ is the equilibrium that we so desperately seek. As prophets of God prepare to speak in about a month, my personal goal is to thoroughly evaluate my life to determine areas that are not so "calm" and "still" because I know that if I prepare my heart and mind, I can receive counsel and guidance for my life. My storms and my fear will be tempered with the sweet peace that is only His to give.
