Peace Day 45
38 But He was in
the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do
You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked
the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there
was a great calm. 40 But He said to them, “Why are you so fearful?
How is it that you have no faith?”
Mark
4:38-40
As a storm approaches, dark and threatening clouds can be
seen drawing near. Trees sway from the strengthening winds. The sound of
thunder booms in the distance. There is the scent of the coming rain. We feel
the first heavy drops of rain. With all of these signs, we know to seek
shelter. For with proper shelter, we can have peace in knowing that we will
endure the coming storm.
Like storms in the weather, we all experience storms in our
lives. These storms may come from different directions, have multiple causes,
and have various possible outcomes. Yet, there is still one common shelter
available to us for peace, Jesus. In Christ, we have a reassuring lover whose
guidance can lead us through our most difficult times.
Just as one songwriter wrote, let us proclaim, “Though the
storms keep on raging in my life . . . my soul is anchored in the Lord.” Let us not be fearful like the disciples who were physically present with
Christ in Mark 4:38-40. Let us have peace in knowing He is always with us, no
matter our circumstances.
