Friday's Living Water

Scripture –

And there arose a fierce gale of wind, and the waves were breaking over the boat so much that the boat was already filling up.
Jesus Himself 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 got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.
And He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?"
Mark 4: 37-41

Se desató entonces una fuerte tormenta, y las olas azotaban la barca, tanto que ya comenzaba a inundarse. Jesús, mientras tanto, estaba en la popa, durmiendo sobre un cabezal, así que los discípulos lo despertaron. Maestro! gritaron, no te importa que nos ahoguemos? Él se levantó, reprendió al viento y ordenó al mar: Silencio! Cálmate!
El viento se calmó y todo quedó completamente tranquilo. Por qué tienen tanto miedo? dijo a sus discípulos. Todavía no tienen fe? Ellos estaban espantados y se decían unos a otros:
Quién es éste, que hasta el viento y el mar le obedecen?
Marcos 4: 37-41 (NVI)
