What storms are you experiencing in your life today? Who do you turn to when you see the storm coming and cry out to in the middle of your storm? Who do you thank after your storm?
Jesus shows His disciples the power and safety of the Kingdom of God by showing up in the middle of their storm and commanding all to be calm and then bringing them to land and safety. Fulfilling what He told them to do which was to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. All things have been made by Jesus, for Jesus and through Jesus. His Kingdom, which He offers to all people, is filled with righteousness, justice, love for others, joy and peace for life eternal in the presence of the King of all Creation.
Remembering the events that occurred on and around the Sea of Galilee helps us to draw closer to Jesus: the calling of the disciples, the calming of the water, the catching of fish and the promise of catching men for the Kingdom of God, walking on water, and the reinstatement of Peter. Just as it did for the disciples, storms in our lives can arise suddenly; but our faith in Jesus calms the worst of storms as we rest and trust in Him. Travel to the Sea of Galilee daily and be encouraged.
