Jesus and the Storm

   Sometimes it seems like nothing is going right. You may have lost your job. You may be sick, or know someone who is sick. You may not know what the world is going to be like after a significant event. Those are storms, or problems in life. Many times storms don't just show up one at a time. They tend to show up at the same time. Thus, they create a bigger storm.
   One day Jesus was with his disciples. He told them he wanted to go to the other side of a lake. The disciples took him in a boat and they began to go across the lake. Suddenly a really large storm appeared. It was so large that water was entering the boat. Yet, Jesus was asleep. The disciples were scared so they woke Jesus up. Jesus told the storm to be quiet and still. The storm stops; and Jesus asked his disciples "Do you still have no faith?" (Mark.4.35-41)
   We have large storms in life. Jesus is with us too in our storms. He asks us to have faith in him as well. When we are going through loss, Jesus reminds us that he had loss as well. He reminds us that he is there for us and wants to help us grow through that loss. He reminds us to have faith and trust in his plan. He reminds us that he loves us.
   So, what storms do you have in your life now? Are you walking with Jesus in those storms? Do you have faith that God has a plan for your life?
