THOUGHT OF THE DAY

July 30,2020

Mark 4:35-41 AMP
[35] On that [same] day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee].” [36] So leaving the crowd, they took Him with them, just as He was, in the boat. And other boats were with Him.

[37] And a fierce windstorm began to blow, and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already being swamped.

(37 The Sea of Galilee is famous for its sudden and severe storms, produced by winds that funnel through the passes and canyons of the surrounding hills and create severe turbulence on the water. As experienced fishermen, the disciples knew that this was an almost constant risk in their profession.)

[38] But Jesus was in the stern, asleep [with His head] on the [sailor’s leather] cushion. And they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are about to die?”

~[39] And He got up and [sternly] rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Hush, be still (muzzled)!” And the wind died down [as if it had grown weary] and there was [at once] a great calm [a perfect peacefulness].

[40] Jesus said to them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith and confidence [in Me]?” [41] They were filled with great fear, and said to each other, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

~ There is NOTHING that JESUS can NOT do to fulfill GOD’s plan!!
