God is with you (5)

Dearly beloved. I trust this finds you well and bubbling in the Lord. There are times when situations can cause fear and trepidation, but God says, fear not, He is with you. In Mark 4v35-41 (NIV) we are told of a situation where the disciples were afraid, but Jesus was with them: “That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Child of God, why are you afraid? Trust in God! Rely on Him! Regardless of what you see, or feel … God is with you.
