MARK 4‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭AMP

“And a fierce windstorm began to blow, and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already being swamped. But Jesus was in the stern, asleep [with His head] on the [sailor’s leather] cushion. And they woke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are about to die?””

Considering the fact that the early disciples were fishermen and this was a small and open boat filled with water, it is amazing the disciples could not deal with the situation but had to wake Jesus.
Jesus was probably soaked to the bone.
How could he sleep so soundly in a storm – boat filled with water?
Obviously he might have been very exhausted by the rigorous nature of ministry.
However, the answer is found in what He said before He got into the boat.
He said, “Let us go to the other side.”
He was going to the other side and not in the middle of the sea to drown.
This shows that the disciples still didn’t understand Jesus’ authority.
They were committed to Him as their Messiah, but they hadn’t yet realised that He was Lord even over nature.
Jesus had peace because He believed His Word.
He rested in His Word.
He also understood that the benefits of being a child of God were both spiritual and physical – encompassing every area of life.
If you are in a storm today, what you say and what you believe will determine whether you cross over to the other side or drown.
Know that Jesus is not asleep concerning the things you face in this life.
He’s right there in your ship, resting and giving you peace to get where you need to go.
His peace is yours if you will just believe His Word and rest in His love.
Jesus is your peace in the midst of your storm.
Shalom
