And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”Mark 4:39-40 (ESV)
I remember it was a typhoon day during take-off and the plane was shaking pretty significantly. I was terrified. My wife, who was asleep immediately after take-off, encouraged me – have faith in the pilots. We can count on them if they think it is ok to make the trip. Jesus demands us to have the same faith in Him, our Creator, our Saviour and our Shepherd – be it public health crisis, economic difficulties or personal struggles. Jesus wants us to have that supernatural peace that allow us to rest even amidst storms and turbulences, all because we know our Heavenly Father is watching over us 24-7.
Father, helps us fix our eyes on You alone, instead of the storms. Gives us that supernatural peace and helps us to share this Heavenly peace to everyone around us. In Jesus's name, Amen.
