Just a thought by coppi

“On the same day, when evening had come, He [Jesus] said to them, ‘Let us cross over to the other side.’ Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 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?’ Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, ‘Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?’ And they feared exceedingly, and said to one another, ‘Who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey Him!’” (Mark 4:35-41)

what got my attention was the words “Who could this be”!

The disciples saw the many miracles Jesus did and yet when he stopped the wind from sinking their ship, they questioned the miracle performed right before their eyes. “Who is this that even the wind and sea obey him”.  In my many years of walking on this earth, I too have seen the miraculous happen, but I too questioned some of them.  Why?  I guess I thought this could not happen in our world today – could it?  Yes, it could because the scripture says in “Both Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 declare that God is the same always and never ever changes. He is always good, always loving, always all-powerful. No matter how this world changes around us, we can trust that God is consistent. “He is the same yesterday, today, and Forever!”  However, the fact is we have to believe.  If we doubt His existence or what is written in the Word, we are left with only what the world of unbelief feed us.  It’s a choice, I made many years ago when the God of my childhood entered my heart and I choose to follow Him.  All I can offer is that I know I made the right choice as the many times I needed Him, He was by my side.  He never left me, He carried me through the storms of my life and brought me through them to the other side.
