Jesus Calms the Storm


The disciples went and woke him, saying Master, Master we are going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. (Luke 8:24

This is a story that we all know quite well. Jesus told his disciples to go to the other side of the lake with him, as they sailed, He fell asleep; all of the sudden a storm came out of nowhere. The disciples tried everything to no avail. They were all going to die, but they remember that Jesus was with them, they went down and woke him up and he ordered the storm to stop, and naturally, it did.

There is something about Jesus that brings changes. The mere presence of him brings calm, peace and change.


I don’t know what kind of situations that you are facing today. I don’t know how dangerous and desperate your situations may seem to be in the natural, but I know that Jesus' presence will bring you peace. There cannot be trouble in the Lord’s presence. All you need to do is call on His name. He is waiting in the wing, His desire is to come to your rescue but he will not interfere unless you invite Him. So what are you waiting for? You don’t have to go through this alone. Your friends can’t help you, your husband can’t help you, your intellect can’t help you, not even your money can help you but the name of Jesus is able to change situations and bring about amazing results. Don’t wait until the last minute. Call on Him right now and He will come to your rescue and calm your storms.

Praise the Lord.
