37 But soon
a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to
fill with water.
38 Jesus was
sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke
him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”
39 When
Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence!
Be still!” Suddenly
the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are
you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Mark 4
Fear looks
at the Storm
Faith
looks at Jesus in the boat
Fear looks
at how fierce the storm is
Faith
finds Jesus at peace in the storm
Fear grows
stronger among the group
Faith
brings calm by one man, Jesus
Fear is
afraid of death
Faith is
Jesus the way, truth and life
Fear is
unrelenting splash of danger
Faith is
to be still and know that He is lord, Jesus
Fear
overtakes our emotions
Faith is
calmness from the prince of peace, Jesus
Fear feeds
on our lack of control of our circumstances
Faith
rests in the one who has all authority in heaven and earth, Jesus
Fear is
instant and reactionary with no need for warning
Faith is
grows stronger with the exercise of trust in Jesus
Fear
cripples us
Faith
empowers us in Jesus
Fear is no
respecter of persons
Faith
hears the voice of the true shepherd, Jesus
Fear
forgets about God’s care and protection
Faith is
remembering who is in your boat, Jesus
