Awestruck: 30 Days of Wonder in the Bibleනියැදිය

The storm raged. The disciples panicked. And Jesus slept.

To them, it looked like He didn't care about their terror, their exhaustion, their very real fear that they were about to die.

Then, with three words, everything changed. "Quiet! Be still!"

The wind stopped howling. Waves flattened. Chaos became perfect calm. But here's what really shook the disciples: they realized they were in the boat with someone who could command creation itself.

The Psalms say only God commands the sea: "He stilled the storm to a whisper; the waves of the sea were hushed." Now the disciples watched Jesus do what only God can do. The wonder isn't just that the storm stopped. It's that creation itself recognized its Creator's voice.

He's the same today.

Your storms may not be on the water, but life can feel just as overwhelming. Maybe it's a relationship that's falling apart, health issues that won't resolve, or financial pressure that keeps you awake at night.

Remember that the One who calms chaos, outside and inside, is present with you. The same voice that stills the sea can carry peace to your heart.

Reflect:

How can this story shape the way you read the Bible, especially when life feels overwhelming?

Tomorrow we'll discover what Jesus said that left thousands walking away—and why it's exactly what we need to hear.
