Finding Calm In the Chaos / Mark 4:35-41

Sometimes the Lord has to bring us to a point of absolute desperation before we give Him our undivided attention.  In today's scriptural text Christ's disciples had run out of human solutions and had only Jesus to lean upon for help.  God certainly delights in hearing a sinner's cry of desperation resulting from the realization of one's own inadequacy since it is the first step in turning to Him.  God also delights in hearing His own children desperately cry out to Him in their trying times because that is a sign that they remember to whom they belong.  Today you are invited to learn what the disciples did when Jesus calmed the fierce storm on the Sea of Galilee--the Lord can be trusted even in the most severe, threatening, and helpless situations.
