Your Life is in His Hands
Mark 4:35-41 ~ 35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. 38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” 39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”
The afternoon sun dipped behind the rolling hills as a small boat carrying Jesus and his disciples set out across the Sea of Galilee. After a day of teaching, the Master was exhausted. So he found a quiet spot in the stern and was soon asleep.
The gentle breeze that had launched their boat quickly mounted to a stiff wind that filled the sails and rippled the surface of the water with whitecaps. Within minutes fierce downdrafts howled through the riggings, and huge waves crashed against the side of the boat. The disciples frantically tied down the sail while the boat tipped and water sloshed in by the gallons. But Jesus slept on undisturbed.
The disciples panicked. The shook Jesus awake and screamed at him over the roaring wind and crashing waves, “We’re about to go under! Don’t you care?”
The Master rose and shouted back at the wind, “Be quiet,” and to the sea, “Be still.” Almost immediately the killer gale dwindled to a whisper and the vicious waves subsided to a great calm.
“Why were you so stressed?” Jesus asked as the trembling disciples stared out over the suddenly tranquil lake. “Haven’t you learned to trust your lives to God in such a simple thing as a storm?” The disciples hadn’t trusted God. They were too worried about losing their lives.
You possess a drive to preserve your life – everyone does. You’re born with the will to survive. But the will to survive is not always enough to keep people alive, for most people die against their own will. Your survival instinct tells you to drive on the correct side of the road, but you can’t control whether the driver coming toward you will stay in their lane. Face it: You are not all-powerful, so sometimes tragic events will overpower you. At some point in your life, you have to learn to say honestly – and reverently – “Lord, my life is in your hands.”
Prayer: Dear God – You know what my life holds, including it’s duration. We don’t need to fear death because you are the Lord of life; You will bring about your plans for us no matter what. When life’s storms brew, we can trust you to take care of us. Our lives are in your hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
