The Perfect Storm

In his book "The Perfect Storm," author Sebastian Junger reports astonishing facts about the power of a hurricane: "A mature hurricane is by far the most powerful event on earth; the combined nuclear arsenals of the United States and the former Soviet Union don't contain enough energy to keep a hurricane going for one day. A typical hurricane . . . could provide all the electric power needed by the United States for three or four years."

Seafarers encounter diverse weather conditions. But those who experience a severe storm have one emotion in common - fear. Mark 4:35-41 records a gale that threatened the boat carrying Jesus and His disciples on the Sea of Galilee. In a panic, the disciples awakened Jesus. He calmly rebuked the wind and sea by saying, "Peace, be still!" (literally "hush") as if He were quieting an agitated child (v.39). Immediately, the gale stopped and the water became inexplicably placid. The disciples asked, "Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!" (v.41).

*Be sure to take all your cares, worries, struggles, ailments, etc. to God 1st. A lot of us seem to ask family, friends, the doctor, and many others for help but forget to take it to the Almighty. Let's keep in mind that we're finite human beings but God is infinitely able to do whatever He wants to do. Is there anything to hard for God?
