JESUS AND STORM

1.       Jesus knew about the storm,He is God.

2.       Jesus initiated the journey Matt 8:23,Mark 4:35,Luke 8:22

3.       Jesus didn’t do anything about it although life was threatened Matt 8:25,Mark 4:37

4.       Jesus was waiting for them to call on Him so is he today Matt 11:28

5.       Jesus calmed the storm Mark 4:39

CONCLUSION

After the God head thought of something that befits man and did it in Gen 2:18(a situation that resulted in man blaming God for doing so),Often than not God will only do what we ask from Him,little wonder Jesus requested from that blind man that what should I do for you.Mark 10:51,Luke 18:44.Take some moment today to really invite heaven to intervene in that storm you are passing through it shall be well.Matt 7:7

Shalom
