Mark 4:37-38A furious storm of wind arose, and the waves kept beating into the boat, so that it was already becoming filled. But He was......asleep.
In Mark 4:35-41 tells of a storm arose when JESUS and His disciples were in a ship crossing the Sea of Galilee. The disciples got upset, but JESUS calmly rebuked the storm, speaking peace to it, and it quieted down.
Do you know why He was able to speak peace to the storm?Yes, because he is JESUS, but also because He is peace - HE had peace inside Him!
When JESUS walked around on the Earth, He had something going out of Him, the anointing of GOD. He brought healing, hope, and salvation to people's lives. It wasn't just something GOD put on Him; there was a foundation there. Yes, He was anointed, but it was not going to be released if He didn't live his life right.
And that's why He NEVER let the devil upset Him. He didn't let storms of life get on the inside. He kept His heart peaceful, calm, and loving.
AND WE ARE TO BE LIKE HIM!!!
What is on the inside will eventually come out, good or bad.
In His Name
GOD bless you and yours....

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly! I found your blog through Steve's blog. I really appreciated the thought of truly needing to follow Christ's footsteps. After all he did invite all of us to follow him! (Mark 10:21) :)
