We are important to the Lord

But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?
Mark 4:38

We are important to the Lord
The disciples were with the Lord Jesus in a boat on the lake when a violent storm arose. Huge waves hit the boat so that it filled with water. We can well imagine how the disciples were struggling against this storm. Some of them were experienced fishermen who knew what to do in such situations but that didn’t seem to be helping.

While their distress grew, the Lord Jesus was sleeping in the back of the boat. How could He remain so calm? Didn’t He care that they were in danger of drowning? Such questions might have been going through the disciples’ minds when they approached Him and woke Him up saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”

Maybe we have had similar experiences. In following the Lord Jesus, perhaps we have been completely overwhelmed by some problems that have arisen. We may have struggled and counted on our Lord’s help, but He seemingly hasn’t cared about our plight. Our prayers have remained unanswered. Then suddenly the doubting question has come into our mind: Does He care about us at all?

Peter, who had the experience with the Lord on the sea described in today’s verse, gives us an answer that dispels all doubt: “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). The Lord will never abandon us!

Today’s reading: Nehemiah 7:39-73 · Proverbs 14:1-12

UNCOVERING EVIL

The presence of the supernatural power of God in a church can take that church beyond limits.
It can also uproot the presence of evil in the midst of Gods children. In Acts 5, a couple were uprooted through this. If we are going to sanitise the church, we need the Holy Spirit. Just as we need Him to heal, save...More
