"Peace, Be Still"

Hey there!

Thanks for dropping in for another week here at LDS Girl Everything.  This week I want to talk about one of my favorite miracles in the New Testament.  Take a look at these verses:

Mark 4:37-39
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
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.

These verses are meaningful to me because I find great comfort in the phrase, “Peace, be still.”  In the world, there is confusion and chaos.  But in Christ, there is peace.  Something interesting to note though is the response of the disciples.  In class we discussed how they allowed something external to cause a raging storm of doubt inside.  Do we sometimes do the same?

With three simple words, Christ calmed the sea and His disciples.  He can bring peace into our lives too.  Though the storms are raging, as long as you are in the boat with Christ, even the good ship Zion, you are not going to sink.  It doesn’t mean you are not going to get wet, disoriented, or a little seasick sometimes, but you will be okay.  Christ is at the helm.

On that note, have a happy week! 😊
