Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. And today's shout-out goes to William Hanson from Bagley, MN. William, thank you for your support of Project23. I pray this study will give you peace in your storm today. Our text today is Mark 4:35-41: On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” — Mark 4:35-41 It started as a simple boat ride across the lake. But halfway through, everything changed. A sudden storm. Water crashing in. Panic is setting in. And where's Jesus? Peacefully asleep—on a cushion. That image alone speaks volumes: Jesus, undisturbed, while chaos rages. The disciples, frantic, ask the question many of us whisper when life gets hard: “Do you not care?” But Jesus does more than care—he commands. He stands up, rebukes the wind, and speaks peace over the storm: “Peace! Be still!” And just like that, the elements of life obey. The storm stops. Here's the kicker: the storm outside wasn't the biggest one. The real storm was inside them—fear, doubt, forgetfulness. And Jesus quiets that, too, with a question that echoes into our own lives: “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” The storms of life are inevitable. But panic is optional when Jesus is in your boat. Because the One who commands the sea also calms the soul. And the more we walk with him, the more we learn: Jesus may not always stop the storm before it hits—but he always brings peace in the middle of it. Lay the storm in your soul on the cushion of Jesus. You know you can't control your present storm. But he can. #FaithInTheStorm, #PeaceBeStill, #Mark43541 ASK THIS: What fears rise in you when life feels out of control? How have you seen Jesus bring peace in past storms? Why do you think Jesus asked, “Have you still no faith?” What does it mean for you to rest like Jesus—even in chaos? DO THIS: Speak the words “Peace, be still” over one area of your life today—and trust Jesus to meet you in it. PRAY THIS: Jesus, when fear fills my heart, remind me that you are present and powerful in every storm. Help me trust your peace more than I fear the waves. Amen. PLAY THIS: Still.

In this episode, Pastor Josh encourages us to set out hearts and minds on things above. Colossians 3:1-3Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.Philippians 4:4-9 4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with youMark 4:35-4135 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don't you care if we drown?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Mark 4:35-41
"Why are you so afraid?" Jesus asks. After a long day of work, he has set out with his disciples to sail across the Sea of Galilee. While he slept in the back of the boat, a severe storm set in, and the disciples are afraid. Jesus does more than ask this question. He challenges, champions, and changes them through the storm, and he is still doing the same thing for us today. Who is this, that even the wind the sea obey him?

That one Saturday morning… There are no early children’s soccer games. No tee time to keep. No guests coming that require the house to be scrubbed and disinfected. No insurmountable to-do list to attack. There is nothing to keep you from sleeping in this one Saturday morning… As predictable as the changing of the seasons, this is the Saturday the storm hits. Children are wide awake and jumping on your bed two hours before you would have to drag them from their beds during the week. A dog that hasn’t made mess in a year is vomiting in the corner. The children who were sent to pour themselves cereal for breakfast have somehow set off the smoke alarm. And that overly enthusiastic neighbor has decided his lawn needed to be mowed before the sun rises. So much for sleeping in just this one time. Is this the same feeling that Jesus experienced when his panicked disciples shook him awake in the stern of that boat in the midst of a storm? It’s tempting to envision Jesus calming the storm and returning to his comfy cushion and quickly falling back asleep. That storm feels relatable. In that story Jesus is the hero of and vindication for every sleep deprived parent. And that’s fine, but there is something more going on here. This story isn’t just a story about that one time Jesus scolded the weather and it obeyed him like a petulant child. This story makes a claim about Jesus’ identity that is foundational to Mark’s version of the Jesus story, and it makes a claim about the nature of the Jesus movement in the world.
