Awake the Saviour

 

Text: Mark 4:37-38 (KJV)

And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

Friends, there are still storms of life that threatens our peace in our journey of purpose. Unfortunately, many depend so much on their conscience and leave God until the matter gets out of hand. Isaiah 43:2 When thou passeth through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flames kindle upon thee.    In our text of today, we see that the disciples were fighting the wind by themselves until it got to a point when the storm reached its peak, and the ship was filled with water before they got Jesus involved.  This is the mistake of many today.  Let’s learn to get the saviour involved from the take - off.

Amazingly, we should learn to involve the saviour of the world no matter the storms of life. Our wisdom and strength can fail you when your confidence is on mortal man. He is the Master over that issue; you just need to recognize Him as your MASTER today and He will never fail. Psalms 73:26- My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.  And if I may ask, is Jesus in your boat and fast asleep without you involving him while you are struggling to battle in that challenge? Remember, Jesus is the Master in all fields of life. So, immediately they woke Him, He rebuked the wind and there was great calmness. My prayer this morning is that Jesus will rebuke that storm in all areas of our lives in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1)       Father, help us to subdue self-wisdom in the battles of our lives as to lean on the Master in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, Jesus can be inactive in your boat of life. So involve Him now
