Storms of Your Life

This Sunday we will look together at Mark 4:35-41... which includes the account of the storm at sea. One thing that has gripped me is this: Why were the disciples of Jesus caught in the middle of a storm? Why was their life being turned upside down? Why was it difficult to get oriented? Why did they wonder if Jesus cared about them at all? Well... an important reason is because Jesus said, "Let's go." (see 4:35)

So Jesus sets them out on a voyage that is rocky! There is something about who Jesus is and the kind of power He has that the disciples need to go through a storm to "get". So, could it be that you are experiencing temptations and trials that are God-designed to reveal to you His glory and grace? It certainly reads that way to me.
