We want Jesus to hurry up and calm the storms in our life. He wants us to find Him in the midst of them first.

In the New Testament we read of Jesus and His disciples sailing across the Sea of Galilee when a sudden and violent wind storm hit the boat nearly swamping it. The disciples panicked and reacted to the imminent danger… thinking they were all going to die. It was then that they woke a sleeping Jesus and accused Him of not caring about them. Jesus stood up, spoke peace into the storm, and then taught the disciples about relying on God first, not as a last resort. In Isaiah 26:3-4 we see that it’s the peace of God that guards our hearts and minds even in the midst of great trials. And this is so true, but we first need to find God’s Presence in the middle of the storm in order for Him to give us the peace and stability to see it through…whether He suddenly calms the storm in our life… or just hushes the storm within us.
