Power Over Nature
Luke 8:22-25
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out.
Luke 8:22, NLT
Today’s Bible reading is one of my favorite passages in the gospels. In it, I see a pattern Jesus wants me to use when I am faced with storms and challenges. In it, I see how to handle life like the Master.
Friend, I can testify that God has never failed to grant me peace and help me in any storm whenever I apply the
principles taught in the passage.
From the story in the passage, Jesus, the word of God, (see John 1:1-3) proved that He has power over nature. He told His disciples, “Let us go to the other side”. On the way a storm arose. But He was unruffled. He slept off! When he was woken up, He “rebuked the wind and the raging waves. The storm ceased and all was calm!” (Luke 8:24-
25).
Can you find a situation to apply this passage to? How have you been handling your life challenges? Is Jesus’
example real to you? No storm can withstand the word of God. Let us pray.
