A thought from p. Jukka's morning devotional.
Mark 4:35-40 Jesus told to His disciples, lets us go over to the other side of the lake. As they went on the storm arose. Two storms are seen here. One outside of the boat and the other in the minds of the disciples. Jesus was sleeping and the disciples were afraid.
Questions arose? Disciples, Jesus why do you sleep, are you not caring that we perish? Jesus why are fearful and you don't have faith (firm relying trust) in Me?
Jesus woke up and rebuked the wind and the peace came.
Application; Jesus told to His disciples lets us go to a new place. The same in our lives also. When God leads us into new things, we face fear, opposition and challenges, where do we find help from? As p. Jukka said this morning, we find it from the Word of God, by faith (firm relying trust) in Him and He gives us His peace.
