I find it interesting how we often disect the Bible...focusing more on the faults of those we are reading... I can tell you today that I am probably like every single person I read about in the Bible....
"Jesus Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke Him and said to Him,
"Teacher, do YOU not CARE that we are perishing?"
I can't tell you how many times I have spoken those same words to the Lord....in the past....and how many times I have only been hindered from saying them, because of this story....
God put this story in the Bible ...to show us...you and me...that we would have those times where we think He is asleep....when our world is so rocked by the storms of life that we feel we are going to die....and we wonder...Jesus....do you not CARE? Sovereignly he knew what we would face, gave us men to identify with, to answer that question.
"Have faith..I am in this storm, too."
A song I love that I heard in college.....
"When I think I'm going under...part the waters, Lord.
When I feel the waves around me...calm the sea...
When I cry for help O hear me Lord and hold out Your hand
Touch my life....still the raging storm in me....
Knowing You love me..helps me face another day
Hearing Your footsteps, drives the doubt and fears away
And in the night of my life, I see the promise of day
Here is my hand....show me the way.....
When I think I'm going under...part the waters, Lord.....
Another version adds
I need Thee every hour...most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine can peace afford
I need Thee O I need Thee
O bless me now my Savior, I come to Thee...
I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain
Come quickly and abide Or life is vain
I need Thee O I need Thee....every hour I need Thee
O Bless me now My Savior, I come to Thee...
O bless me now My Savior, I come to Thee....
