Faith vs Fear...!

Mark 4:37-40 NKJV

And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 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?”

Shalom! Day #298. Do you know that in every situation of your life, Jesus is there together with you in the same boat? Let's pray. Father, help us not to be anxious and weary about  anything but in everything with prayer and supplication unto You be lifted up. Help us to see that You are with us in every events that happens in our life. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

And great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat,  so that it was already filling. In this whole passage of the scripture, there is a hidden truth. How keep calm and stay relaxed.  Are you walking in the windstorm today? Is the waves of life hitting you hard today and you are suffocating and drowning? Today, we are going to look at one secret that's in this verse. I believe, that everyone in one way or another have some boating experience.

A few things we are going to learn from this scripture today is :-

⊙ No matter how violent the windstorm is continue to stay in the boat and do not abandoned it. Why?
> As we walk this life, there will be violent windstorm and waves a.k.a problems, troubles, trials, tribulations, disappointments, etc. No matter how hurting it can be, you must not run away from it, but you must overpower it and walk through it because you are not alone in that boat, your life savior,  your life jacket,  our Lord Jesus Christ is with you in the same boat and He is mighty to save you!

⊙ But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. You know that Jesus was 100% human and God when He was on earth. Yet, in the midst of windstorm and waves, He was sleeping comfortably on a pillow. Now, there is something here that we must look into. What made Jesus to rest, relax and stay cool? Not because He is God that He knows He can do anything, no. The secret is, even though He went through such events in His life, there was an extraordinary peace in His heart. He slept comfortably on a pillow. The key point here is, are we having that extraordinary peace in our hearts as we face the giants as we walk this life? My peace I leave it with you.

⊙ Your peace may be provoked, but remain calm and stay cute :). Are you afraid to walk and face the giants? Even before the giants hit us, we are already trembling because of fear. Fear is the devil's tactic. He sows the seeds of fear into our hearts that we may began to shake, tremble or even to the point of running away from facing the giants. For example, the story of David versus goliath. In this verse, the disciples we afraid that they are going to die, and they awoke Jesus from His comfortable sleep and they said to Him “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” You do not care that WE are perishing. They were afraid until they said to Jesus that Jesus and the disciples will die in the storm. What a joke it is! This proves that till that point of their life they still don't really know who Jesus is and what He is capable of doing. Now the point here is HOW DEEP OR HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW JESUS? When you know your God, you will attempt greater exploits. If you have an intimate relationship with Jesus, you very well know that Jesus is able to create a miracle in the midst of critical.

⊙ And finally, “Why are you so fearful? How  is it that you have no faith?” People who profess to know God, but in action they fail. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. The amount of faith you have in God must be able to fight against the fear the devil is putting in you. Your faith fights against the fear! Not fear overpowers your faith.

Always remember God's promise HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US. No matter what kind of situation you are going through now, continue to stand firm and continue believe in Jesus for a miracle,  for He is able! Faith against fear!

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
