Mark 4:38 ESV
But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”

I like this story.

A storm is raging about and Jesus is sleeping on a cushion in the back of the boat. The storm is doing everything it can to toss that boat to and fro and thus drive its occupants to fear, but not Jesus. The disciples, scared silly, accuse Jesus of not caring, but in fact, he cares very much. He just knows something they do not.

The storm has no power over him or those who belong to him.

I can think of many times when I accused Jesus right along with the disciples even though my boat never sank. It has come close a few times, but here I am, safe and sound with the Lord. As Paul says in Romans 14:8, “For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s.” And so with that truth, I can be at peace no matter the storm. And so…

Rage on, o storm, rage on. I belong to Jesus.
