Scripture
[!quote] [[Matt 8#24|Matthew 8:24]]
24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.
Observation
#Jesus was sleeping while there was a storm around him and his disciples.
While them were freaking out thinking they would die, Jesus wasn’t afraid of the storm.
There was so much calm in his interior, that he could sleep through a storm.
And later, the same #calmness of his heart is revealed and manifested in the nature and #environment around him.
Application
We cannot change the situations around us if our interior isn’t changed, or the change will always portrait our interior.
We deal with the #storms in our lives pushing the same result of what is inside our hearts.
When our hear tis calm, we can order the storms to calm down, but if we live in fear, our faith to change a storm is too little to be able to rebuke the winds and waves.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, don’t let my heart absorb the storms around me, but let the storms around me have the calmness that you give me when I trust in you. Let the state of my heart influence my environment and not the other ay around. In Jesus’ name, I pray.
