Pastor Bob's Midweek Devotion: June 17

Good Morning Church!

I hope you had a good night's sleep and your dreams were sweet!

But if you're like me, sometimes that's not the case. Have you ever been awakened by a dream that seemed so real you wondered if it really happened? Or have you ever been in the middle of a tough situation and wished it was only a dream?

In Mark 4:35-31 we see that, whether real or imagined, no problem is too big for Jesus.

One night, Jesus was sleeping in a boat when his disciples frantically woke him up because a storm had arisen and the boat was in serious trouble...it was going down!

Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and [his disciples] woke Him up and said to Him, "Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?" And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.

Aren't you glad Jesus did not roll over and tell his disciples to go away and just pray about it? Jesus got up and dealt with the storm. He said, "Hush, be still."

What's your storm today? Jesus, who "is the same yesterday and today and forever" wants you to come to Him. He will miraculously hush the raging worries, pains, disappointments and fears in your life if you just come to Him.


Is there a storm in your life that you need to ask Jesus to take charge of?

Let me know how I can pray for you!

  1. For me, I am trying to get all the things I have been procrastinating on while working. There is much to do and although I am getting a lot of things done, the list is long.
