EP54: What to do in a storm

Remember when Jesus was taking a snooze on a boat during a storm? And the disciples went into a full blown panic? Here they were - on a boat - WITH JESUS - and slipped into the panic abyss.The storms in life can be terrifying, but they don't have to be.Storms are our opportunity to show God our faith. Demonstrate our trust. Storms also allow a washing away of the old to make way for the new. And what's better, as believers, we are given full authority to fly above a storm into bright, clear skies.I love the illustration of our journey with God being like a long flight. If a bad storm cloud approaches, we can rise above it. Yes, as we enter the clouds, there will be bumps. We may get scared - but then, we are above the clouds. Calm air. We see the sun! And we can look down at the storm clouds below - and be in total peace.This is why Jesus slept during the storm. Because he knew - there was no reason to ever be afraid.LOVE this episode. Enjoy!
