“Then he came closer and climbed into the boat with them, and immediately the stormy wind became still. They were completely and utterly overwhelmed with astonishment because they failed to learn the lesson of the miracle of the loaves, and their hearts were unwilling to learn the lesson.”
‭‭Mark‬ ‭6:51-52‬ ‭TPT‬‬

“They failed to learn the lesson...” What is the lesson? Jesus had just sent out his disciples to preach, drive out demons, and heal the sick. They came back with astounding reports of what God had done through them, but God had more to reveal about His nature when they returned from their missions trip. 

What is the lesson? The kingdom is limitless currency, energy, provision, and supernatural physics. We are recipients, conduits, and witnesses. The need, whatever it is, is no longer a reason to fear. No! Now we see that need for what it truly is, the signal of the next move of God. 

This is the lesson. Let’s learn it!

LEARN THE LESSON

“Then he turned to his disciples and said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Haven’t you learned to trust yet?” But they were overwhelmed with fear and awe and said to one another, “Who is this man who has such authority that even the wind and waves obey him?””
‭‭Mark‬ ‭4:40-41‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Jesus calms the raging storm with a word. And then he speaks to the howling fear in his disciples hearts. Amazingly, they could still resist his peace, choosing to remain in fear and chaos. 

His question to his first disciples pierces me. Have I learned this lesson? Have I learned to trust Him yet? 

Allowing His voice to calm my rowdy soul, I say, “Yes, Lord. I trust you. Now bring me into your perfect peace.”
