Panic into Peace, Jeopardy into Joy, Storm into Stillness, Calamity into Calm

Luke 8:22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 24And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
"Musicians are temperamental", you've heard said. For me, I tend to get into a panic because most of my work turns out in "public" for all to see, hear, and pronounce judgment upon. The feeling of living "on the edge" becomes normal, but it shouldn't be that way. Musician, "Where is your faith?". Jesus is there in our "boat" of life, right there, not worried. When the winds blow down and our boats fill with water we panic. You know, the mic wasn't on, the soloist forgot, you turned too many pages, etc... Jesus wants to turn our panic into peace, our jeopardy into joy, our storm into stillness, and our calamity into calm. Alright, before Sunday - take a breath, breathe deeply, apply faith, look to Jesus - - - - CALM yourself.
