SUZANNE
“Peace! Be Still!’
Have you ever needed those words to calm a storm in your life? Matthew and
Mark both recount in their gospels of a time in the boat with Jesus when a
storm came upon them. The disciples woke Jesus, afraid they were going to
drown. Jesus’ response to them was “Ye of little faith.”
I sometimes wonder if that is the whisper that comes across our hearts when
the storms of life come our way. “Oh, ye of little faith!”
The difficulties that arise send us searching for answers, forgetting that the
Master of the Storm has but to utter “peace be still,” and calm will come our
way. It may not mean that the storm is removed, for that is the test of life,
but the Peace of God that transcends all understanding can come our way if
we will rest in the amazement of our Savior. “For even the winds and waves
obey Him.”
For Central, A United Methodist Community, may the peace of Christ calm
your storms this day!
