Weary from the business of the day, Jesus lay asleep in the rear of the ship carrying the disciples across the Sea of Galilee.
These men found themselves in the storm of their lives. They experienced the Lord’s power to deliver them and lived to tell the tale.
Mark 4:39 `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.
The disciples were amazed and said, “What manner of man is this?”
There is a sense in which we are all involved in a journey today, sailing toward an unseen port.
As we sail, storms will arise and toss our little vessels. We will often think the storms are going to destroy us.
You need to let Jesus pilot your boat. There’s no one better because He is the One Who is in control of every puff of wind; every angry wave and every storm.
Let Him be your Pilot because He can corral the waves, lasso the winds, and hog tie the storm.
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.

“Jesus, Savior, pilot me, — Over life's tempestuous sea; — Unknown waves before me roll, — Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal; — Chart and compass come from Thee: — Jesus, Savior, pilot me!
“As a mother stills her child, — Thou canst hush the ocean wild; — Boist'rous waves obey Thy will. — When Thou say'st to them, "Be still!" — Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, — Jesus, Saviour, pilot me!
“When at last I near the shore, — And the fearful breakers roar. — 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, — Then, while leaning on Thy breast, — May I hear Thee say to me, — "Fear not, I will pilot thee!"
Edward Hopper 1871
