And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace,
be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:39
In the chapter which follows this one, there are three lives in a storm, a man, a woman, and a child. The man is in bondage; the woman is in weariness; the child is dead and her family is in mourning. But the word of the Psalmist is true, “He maketh the storm a calm,” (Psalm 107.29). The man is delivered by a word; the woman is healed by a touch; Jesus gently takes the little girl by the hand. In His own way He calms the storms in their lives and to us He would say, “Why are ye so fearful”.—Jim Flanigan
The deep, the demons, and the dead are subject to the word He said,
Unveiling thus His power and might, to exercise His Godhead right.—Author Unknown
