Matt. 8:24-27 [NV Dramatized Audio]

For such a small lake (13×7 miles), Galilee has an amazing ability to work up a scary storm. The unusual combination of being below sea level, shallowness, and weather whipping up from the east can produce life threatening waves for small boats such as Jesus’ disciples would have had. [see 13 min. video below]

Although rare, I believe Jesus arranged this storm to show the disciples AND you and me that He is the Master of life’s storms. The wind and the waves obey His Voice. All of creation obey His Voice. He created the universe with the sound of His Voice. [Jn. 1:3] For His people, He dispenses peace.

Whatever storm you’re in right now, just stay is Christ’s boat and say, “Master, the tempest is raging. Save me.”

Done!
