One thing I love about Jesus is that He’s always with us…now, henceforth and forever more! However, too many times we fail to operate in this truth; especially when the storms of life seemingly pop up out of nowhere with a vengeful rage. For it is then that we often panic and run everywhere else trying to find help in attempt to calm the storm other than running straight to the One who is a Very Present Help! Luke 8:23-24 lets us in on an incident when the disciples also got caught in a raging storm while crossing the sea WITH Jesus (who was peacefully sleeping on the boat by the way). The Bible goes on to say that the storm was so fierce, the disciples feared they would drown and they began to lose it. But even in the storm and even in their panic, they did a most wise thing. They woke up a sleeping Jesus! Immediately, Jesus rebuked the wind & raging waves, the storm suddenly ceased and all was calm again. So Beloved, the next time you are faced with a raging storm no matter what form it's in; don’t fear, don’t panic and don’t jump ship. Remember that Jesus is nearby, wake Him up and trust without doubt that He will calm the storm and calm you too!
