Through the Bible: Johnনমুনা
Listen, Jesus Is Always in The Storm!
When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum.… The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. …, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.”..., and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.”
John 6:16-21 (ESV)
The disciples were on the boat being battered by the storm. They were all afraid and helpless because the challenge was greater than their ability or resources to conquer. The Bible did not mention that they cried out to God for help, but it was Jesus who kept an eye on them and went to their aid amid the storm.
When we have fear, we will make hasty and unwise decisions. The disciples thought they saw a ghost until Jesus spoke to them. God wants us to know that we are never alone in a storm, as Jesus is always by our side, speaking to us. It is important to hear from God when facing challenges because His words will calm our fear and carry us through to our victory.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank You that You call us Your own, and You promise that You will never leave us or forsake us. Holy Spirit, we pray for Your help to calibrate our hearing to be more sensitive to the voice of Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
