There are two lessons we have to learn from this story;
1. You must trust what God has told you. When Jesus told hid disciples to cross to the other side, there was no wind big enough to stop them. The same applies to you. No matter how threatening the situation has been, what the Lord has told you will come to pass. Just pitch your tent with him. Standing on that won’t stop you from getting scared or soaked, but it will keep you from sinking.
2. You must constantly remind yourself that He is in the boat with you. He can calm or prevent the storms of life. So when He allows you to go through the storm, He is demonstrating to you that there is no problem He cannot solve. Although there are situations that shows that you are powerless, He is ever powerful. Just hold on to Him and He will carry you through all the storms of life.
