Let this story speak to you the message it has for you. For just a moment, let this story of the disciples in the midst of The storm speaks to you the message you are ready to hear. Just image that you have been with Jesus all day and he has been teaching from a boat because there were so many people there to hear him. Jesus concludes his message and needs a rest so he Tells you and the other disciples to sail with him to the other side of the sea. As the boat sails for the other side, Jesus lies down and goes to sleep. All of you are happy. The gentle waves rocked the boat back and forth, back and forth, which allows Jesus to sleep soundly. As so often the case in this region, the weather can change drastically in a very short time. Suddenly the sky turns black and winds began to blow. The storm winds intensified and the wave now rock the boat violently. Lightening struck the water near the boat and the boat rocks and water leaps over the side into the boat. You are afraid that the boat will sink. One of the disciples who is also afraid cries out, "Wake up Jesus! Don't you care that we perish?" As you use your imagination, let that storm on the Sea of Galilee represent any storm that my be going on in your personal life. Do you feel like the disciples? Can you cry out, "Wake up Jesus!" Jesus responded to the cries of disciples by reassuring them of his presence. "Peace be still, I am with you." When the disciples heard those words, the heart of each disciples began to grow calm. At almost the same time, it was as if the storm was listening for the storm itself became calm. If you listen now you can hear Jesus say to you, "Peace be still, I am with you." Peace can come to you with or without a change in your circumstances. In the Bible, the word "peace" never simply means just the absence of trouble or discord. When Jesus comes to us and speaks "Peace be still, I am with you," he is offering the gift of his presence -- not just to resolve disharmony but to assure us that he with us to help us overcome or endure.
No, you are not on the Sea of Galilee, but you feel the winds of the storm and perhaps you are questioning your resources to cope with the situation. The storm in your life may be caused by unrealized dreams, dashed hopes, impairment of health, domestic ifficulties, tension on the job, insecurity of position, inadequate finances or conflicts with family or friends. When the storms of life come, we want to cry out, "Wake up Jesus! Don't you care that I perish?" Then we hear him say, "Peace be still, I am with you." When the uncertain winds of anxiety blow, there is a steady safety in the presence of Jesus. When the harsh winds of illness or injury blow, there is calm and comfort in the presence of Jesus. When the cold, bleak winds of sorrow and grief blow , there is peace and security in the presence of Jesus. I am not saying that Jesus is a magic cure, but He is with us to either still the storm or help us cope with the storm. To experience the presence of Jesus is to experience peace in the midst of the storm. May you experience peace today.

Skat Cat:
Well, little lady, let me illusinate here
Everybody wants to be a cat
Because a cat's the only cat
Who knows were it's at

Tom:
Tell me, everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat
'Cause everything else is obsolete
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Skat:
Everytime he plays
Tom:
But with a square in the act
You can set music back
Skat:
To the cave man days, cha cha ba dum bo day

Still a cat's the only cat who knows how to swing
Bass:

Tom and Skat:
A square with a horn makes you wish you weren't born
Everytime he plays

Some to the fork

Some to the hay, dilly dilly,

Some to thresh corn

Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,

Keep ourselves warm.
