Topic: You Are Going Somewhere [July 12, 2016]
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ…”
(Philippians 1:6)In
Mark 4:35-41 the Bible tells a story of how Jesus and His disciples were going somewhere. Verse 37 says that there was a ‘great storm’. When the disciples saw the storm, they were afraid.
It is very normal and natural for one to be fearful in times of trouble. You will agree with me that trouble may drag you to your wits end and to the point of loosing self-control. But it is well. That is why Philippians 4:6 exhorts us to “Be careful for nothing…” Jesus Christ, our perfect example, never got ruffled in any situation. In the same boat where the Apostles’ hearts were almost jumping out of their mouths because of fear, Jesus took a pillow and slept peacefully. He was exercising self control. You have to understand that Satan doesn’t house the punch that will knock you out. He merely attempts to knock you down.
In
Mark 4:39, Jesus woke up, gently rebuked the wind and there was great calm. In the same vein, because Jesus is in your boat, you will get to the end of the journey you have started. I am confident that you will get to the other side safely.
