Mark 4:37-39 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.
The storm was fierce enough that the waves were breaking into the boat, yet Jesus slept through it all. He had no fear of the storm. He knew He had the power to calm the seas.
Since we have the Spirit of God living on the inside of us and Jesus said greater things we will do, why are we afraid of the storms? If we truly knew and understood the power of the Almighty within us, we would see life from His perspective. Our life is not our own, we, in ourselves can do nothing. But when we exercise our faith and see as Jesus sees, the impact on every event in our lives will be mighty.
The key to this kind of waterwalking faith is that the purpose is not for us to be happy, to fix our problems, or to show how great we are. No, the purpose is to demonstrate the power of Almighty God by helping others so they will be drawn to Him.
Jesus didn't calm the sea for himself, He was fine with the storm, waves, water. He calmed the sea for the others with Him.
Faith to move mountains is not much faith, according to Jesus. Only a little faith makes a huge difference in the lives of the people around us. What can you do today to show someone the power of God? Let's see as Jesus sees. To Him be the glory!!
