Read about It
Read: Mark 4:38–41
When a baby is first learning to walk, they’re not very steady on their feet. They have many falls as they’re learning to take those first steps on their own. Sometimes when they fall, they may bump their head or their knees and begin to cry. They cry because they may have gotten hurt, or maybe because the fall scared them. But when someone who loves them comes and picks them up, the baby settles down and stops crying. They are comforted and at peace because they know they’re not alone.
When Jesus calmed the storm on the lake, the disciples were shocked that He could do that. They were also at peace because the storm settled at Jesus’ command. When we go through hard times in our life, we can look to God. He is more powerful than anything we face, and we can be sure that we are not alone. We can be comforted and at peace because we know that God is with us.
