I suspect that you are facing something. Or you probably know someone who is facing something that is significant. It might be a health need, a family issue, a problem at your church or a challenge at your work. Without minimizing your situation or the situation of a friend, I want to intentionally focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. He is awesome in every way.

Recently I was reading several chapters in the Gospel of Mark. Once again I came across the text that I have loved over the years.

“And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on the pillow: and they awake Him and say unto Him, Master, carest Thou not that we perish? And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. And He said unto them, Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey Him?” (Mark 4:37-41).

I have been on the Sea of Galilee several times. One time one of these sudden storms came up, and even after the storm passed by the waters were angry and churned for quite a long time. How different that day when the Lord Jesus stood up in the boat and rebuked the wind and silenced the Sea!

The point of this Daily Prescription today is to remind myself and my friends how awesome He truly is. The disciples were in awe of His power and ability. You and I need to grow in our trust and confidence that the very One Who loves us and gave Himself to be our Savior is very much in control.

This is how I want to think of Him today:

Perfect, perfect is our Savior, down to earth to die for sin.
Shed His blood for us on Calvary; our salvation He would win.
Lamb of God, our great Redeemer, glory in the highest praise.
We will ever serve the Savior – walk with Him through all our days.

Highest, highest is the glory; His great Name above all names.
Every knee before Him bending; “Christ is Lord!” the world proclaims.
What a day of glory coming! Christ will rule in majesty.
Thank you, precious risen Savior, gladly do I bend my knee.
