There is a story referenced in the Bible (标 4:35-41 & 马修 8:23-27) where Jesus and His disciples boarded a ship to the Gergesenes. While they were on the ship, there arose a great storm. Wind and waves were beating into the ship. The waves covered the ship where it was full of water.

During this horrendous ordeal, the disciples became fearful and thought they were going to die. Jesus was asleep in the back of the ship while all of this was going on. The disciples awoke Jesus and some said, “Master, don’t you care if we die?” Others said, “Lord, save us. We perish.”

Jesus then arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, “Peace, be still.” While He rebuked the wind He asked His disciples, “Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?” and “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?”

After Jesus rebuked the winds and the sea, the wind ceased and there was a great calm!

The disciples again feared greatly as they wondered and said to one another,
“What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?!”

Summary:

This passage in the bible is a powerful one. It is an amazing account of the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. 而且, it is wonderful that the ship they were in didn’t sink; otherwise, the demoniacs on the other side of the sea in the Gergesenes would NOT have been delivered from demonic possession AND oppression!

We must have faith in Jesus Christ NO MATTER what storms we face in life. Trust that He is in control of all things, including, but not limited to, the elements. He has already overcome the world and knows what it takes for you to be an overcomer also.

II Timothy 1:7 states For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. We must stand on God’s word. As Christian believers, we are not supposed to be fearful while the storms of life are raging. We are to exercise the power, love and sound mind that God has given us through His Holy spirit.

Do not lose heart. Do not lose faith. Do not give up on trusting in God. Do not allow the storms of life to discourage you from trusting in God. Stand on the promises of God and allow Him to lead you and guide you. He is consistently praying that your faith fails not! Don’t let your faith fail in Him. It doesn’t matter what the storms look like. Life has MANY storms; 然而, look at the one who has ALL POWER OVER THE STORMS in His Hands. Know also that Jesus Christ can see the end and the beginning of all storms. Trust Him. There is no storm in the believer’s life that He is not aware of. Know that He is with you always even unto the end of the age and that you have the victory through Him. You are an overcomer through Christ Jesus. Trust Him. Never doubt. Believe Him.

“Peace. Be Still.”-

The following song is entitled “Peace. Be Still.”

该歌曲的歌词如下:

平安归来

Master, 暴风雨正在肆虐，巨浪高高翻腾，天空被黑暗笼罩，附近没有庇护所或帮助，你不关心我们的灭亡吗？? 当每一刻都如此疯狂地威胁着愤怒深处的一座坟墓时，你怎么能睡着呢? 风浪将听从你的意志 和平归于平静 无论是暴风雨翻腾的大海的愤怒还是恶魔, 或男人, 无论是什么 没有水可以吞没那艘船 海洋、大地和天空的主人 他们都将甜蜜地服从你的意志 和平, peace, 保持安静

I hope you are inspired. May the grace of God be with you always.
