Experience The Calm

Experience the Calm

Soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.

Mark 4:37-39

Read the above passage again, but this time imagine you are on the boat with Jesus:

Listen to the waves breaking against the boat.

Feel the cold water as the boat begins to fill.

Watch Jesus awake and rebuke the storm.

What is it like to see the waves disappear and the water become still as glass?

Sit on the boat and breathe deeply. What do you feel?
