Grace for your spirit July 10, 2014

Grace for your spirit
Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?" And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still."  Mark 4:38-39

The apostles and Jesus were in a storm in the middle of the Sea of Galilee.  Their fear was high, and their faith was low.  Jesus could have rebuked them for their failures, but instead He rebuked the wind and the waves. With the calm that followed, they were able to embrace His questions about their high fear and low faith.  With these experiences and lessons, their faith would strengthen to meet the challenges ahead.  Let's set some goals about life experiences and lessons to strengthen our faith too.
