Mark 4:38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion.
The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?"
The disciples are in the worst storm of their lives. They fear they are going to drown. And Jesus is asleep! They accuse Him of not caring because He’s doing nothing. They ‘awaken’ God to accuse Him.
Did you know that God often 'sleeps' so we wake up!! He will stay silent to get us truly desperate; so that we cry for those things we really need from Him. For the disciples, it was not a time to ask God to stop the storm. It was time for them to discover the authority they had in their own lives. That was what they needed - the revelation that He had given them authority and all they needed to do was to rise up to the faith that He had given them the authority.
Some of us, (many of us) need to stop praying about a thing, stop feeling angry with God because He is not doing anything and speak to the storm ourselves. Take a step in big faith, today!
