Recently in bible study we have been getting into the nitty gritty goodness of the book of Matthew and learning about the power and authority of Jesus. The story of Jesus calming the storm may be a familiar one but there is always something new to learn - even from 'old' stories.
I was reading the notes that we were given and it says: "Sudden crisis, hard circumstances, personality clashes, illness, grief or great temptations come to everyone, sometimes with terrible force...Trust that He desires what is best for you even more than you do. He will bring calm at the right time. He can cause you to experience great peace even as the winds blow."
Being a follower of Christ doesn't guarantee life without any problems (sometimes we are even lead straight into storms!), but we are guaranteed safety and peace if we trust in Him.
With the 'storm' of busy-ness fast approaching, a little reminder to myself: just breathe. have faith. and find peace in the one who can calm the storm.
