[Discoveries] 10-17-07 Finding Jesus in the storm

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*"Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" -- Mark 4:38*/

I'd like to focus in on the word "care."

We all know the story. The storm is out of control. Jesus is asleep. The 
waves are swamping the boat. The disciples are terrified.

Where was God's care? In a sense, that's an unfair question, because we 
have a big advantage. We are looking at this storm 2000 years later. We 
know that God's care was there all along.

The disciples didn't know how to stop the storm. So they did the only 
thing they knew how to do, they found Jesus inside the storm. And, when 
they found Jesus, they discovered that He was so much bigger than they 
ever imagined He could be.

That, may I suggest, is why we enter storms. We enter storms not because 
God delights in terrifying us, but rather because He knows that we will 
know a bigger Jesus when we come out on the other side. Showing us how 
strong our Savior is -- that is God's care for us.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
