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. But He said to them. “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, “Who can this be, that even the wind and sea obey Him!” Mark 4:39-41
Even though I have God the Holy Spirit living inside me I, like the disciples often prefer to believe my circumstances instead of the truth of God’s word. Father, forgive me for looking at the storm around me rather than looking to you who brings me peace. Why am I so fearful? Jesus nails it, it is lack of faith. I am unwilling; not just to believe God’s promises but to believe in such a way that I can act in accordance with His promises.
Well did Isaiah prophesy of me, this guy honors Me with his lips but his heart is far from me. Mark 7:6b (Jack’s personal version)
Brother or sister, if you are struggling with a fearful heart today remember the truth of God’s word and believe it.
Sometimes trembling, Sometimes believing, Your brother Jack
