Jesus in the Storm

The Lord has been really teaching me a lot lately and I have been trying to think about what to write on my blog, but what I have to write today is not an original thought. It comes from my Bible study leader, Nancy. The Lord spoke meaningful words to her and I am going to try to repeat them.
This week we studied the portion in Mark where Jesus calms the storm (Mark 4:35-39). Nancy pointed out some really great points that I had not thought about before. She said that when the storm broke out, Jesus was sleeping and not worried. When troubles seem to come our way, it can seem as if Jesus is ignoring us and indifferent to our pleas. What woke Jesus up was not the storm but the cries of the disciples. He wants to hear our cries, our acknowledgement that we we need Him. Only through humility can we see the Holy Spirit at work.
Before the storm broke out, Jesus said to His disciples, "We will go to the other side." For those of you going through trials, Jesus can already see the other side and He is taking you there.
