Wide-Eyed Wonder (21 Days of Fasting and Prayer)

DÍA 18 DE 21

SEE GOD’S POWER

Overview

Jesus had authority over the storm, but His disciples saw the storm and feared for their lives.

Observations

Jesus had told His disciples to cross the lake and get to the other side. But in the middle of the lake, such a violent storm brewed that the disciples, seasoned fishermen, panicked and feared for their lives. In contrast, Jesus was sound asleep in the boat. The disciples thought the storm would end them. But Jesus was taking a nap!

This showed the disciples that they did not know Jesus like they thought they did. They did not know He had authority over nature. He rebuked the storm with a single word, and it died down.

Storms come to challenge God's direction and purpose in our lives. We must focus on what God has spoken and not on the storm.

The storm shouts, "you are alone," ... "Jesus does not care," ... "you are finished," ... "this is the end!" But we must listen to the voice of God's unchanging character and His presence. Do not listen to the storm. Instead, open your eyes to see God's power. Jesus is greater than any storm you will face. He has conquered death and risen from the dead! Nothing is impossible with God. He is for you and not against you.

Response

Do you see a situation that challenges the promises or direction God has given you? It could be a medical opinion, an examination result, or some other bad news. Ask God to open your eyes to see His great power over your specific situation. See through the eyes of faith. Know that Jesus is with you today, commanding your storm to be still.

Prayer

God, You are the God for whom nothing is impossible. You even conquered death. I thank You that You have power over my situation, and that You are for me. I declare that God You are greater than any storm I face. I declare that all the promises You have spoken over me are “yes” and will come to pass. I thank You, in Jesus’ name, amen.
