Summary

When Jesus stills the storm he brings unexpected help and encouragement just at the time you are most desperate.

Have You Seen a Ghost?

Have you ever thought you’d seen a ghost? People at Maidenhead Salvation Army have told me our building is haunted by a ghost called Mabel. I admit I have thought I've heard her on more than one occasion, but then my brain kicks in and I can usually establish the noise is coming from something quite ordinary!

At the moment, there’s probably enough going on in your life that you don’t need to be frightened by ghosts! But what stops us from running away from the storms of life we find ourselves in? Only Jesus.

The disciples were fighting exhaustion. They’re trying to keep a low profile following Herod’s murder of John the Baptist. They’re recovering from the responsibility of trying to feed five thousand men and their women and children in the remote area on the shore of Galilee to where Jesus had led them. And they’d been fighting the wind and waves for several hours.

Jesus Stills the Storm

Jesus comes to them. But he comes walking on the water. It is unexpected. Impossible. No wonder they thought they’d seen a ghost! They were terrified. But Jesus says, Don’t be afraid. I am here. And then Jesus stills the storm.

Do you need to hear those words today? Don’t be afraid. Jesus is here. Jesus stills the storm. He brings unexpected help and encouragement just at the time you are most desperate. In his presence, fear is gone. Take courage in him today.

Think It Over

Think about the following:

  • How would you have reacted to seeing someone walk on water in the middle of a storm?
