The disciples were in difficulties because of a big storm. The ship was about to sink and Jesus was distant, but He was observing the situation. In the right time, He stopped the tempest.
Is your life like the disciple’s boat that was being tossed with tempests? The fourth watch of the night has passed and you don’t see Jesus approaching, the wind is against you and there is no sign of Him. Calm down! He wasn’t the great I Am, He is the great I Am and is waiting to whisper in your heart: “be of good cheer, it is I, do not fear! Don’t try to stop this storm, it is my work. Let me take the control of your boat. Let me be the Lord in your life. I still have the power to change your circumstances. Trust me”.
There are moments that Jesus tell us to be strong, but there are moments that He just say: “Do not be afraid!” He knows very well what is our need in certain moments and He does not expect from us great faith but a firm faith on Him. Next time that the sea becomes agitated, don’t show great strength, but a firm faith to move the impossible. Reinhard Bonnke wrote: “the opposite of fear is not courage, but faith. “Do not fear, have faith”.
