This passage fascinates me.  The disciples and Jesus are in a boat crossing a lake.  As they are crossing the lake, Jesus goes to sleep.  In the mean time a storm comes.  It is a fierce storm.  The boat was filling with water and the disciples panic in fear.  Jesus is still asleep.  He was very tired from the ministering almost 24 seven.  The disciples wake Jesus from His nap.  They cry out, “Master, Master, we are drowning.”  Jesus wakes up and says, “Wind and waves be still.”  Immediately it was calm.  Then He asks them, “Where is your faith?”

How can you sleep during a storm?  Jesus did not fear the storm.  Why?  The reason is obvious, he was in control.  He could speak to the storm and it would obey.  The storm lasted only as long as He allowed it to.  What does it mean when we acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior?  He is the Lord of every situation.  He is boss. 

My prayer is, Lord help me sleep though the storms.
