Mark 4:39-41 CEB

He got up and gave orders to the wind, and he said to the lake, "Silence! 

Be still!"

The wind settled down and there was a great calm.

Jesus asked them, 

'Why are you frightened? Don't you have faith yet?"

Overcome with awe, they said to each other, "Who then is this? 

Even the wind and the sea obey him!"

Mark 4:39-41 CEB

The disciples were incredulous, overawed, they'd seen healings, seen Jesus face down the leaders in their community, but this day, they were afraid for their own lives, and Jesus supernaturally stopped the storm, stopped the waves.

Can you imagine being in the storm, tossed around, it getting so bad you thought there's no way out, and then it's all calm, quiet, not a ripple, in an instant.

Who even is this?

We so want the storm "out there" to be calmed, our circumstances to change, but Jesus did this not to make their boat ride easier, but to show them who He is. 

Because the real kingdom is a heart thing, and that's where we reallly need calm.

"Jesus, calmer of the storm that day on the lake, calm the storm in my heart, bring me your peace in all that is in front of me today, as you were with your team that day, be with me today.

Amen."
