5. He Fell Asleep


The first night Christy and I spent in our very first house, I didn’t sleep. Have you ever gone to bed so tired and so thankful for a chance to sleep, only to hear a creepy noise that sort of scares you and keeps you awake? No matter how tired you are, you can’t really sleep when you’re afraid. One night, Jesus told His disciples to get in a boat because He said they were all going to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. On their way across, a huge storm broke out, tossing the boat and filling it with water, almost taking it under. The Disciples were losing their minds, panicked and terrified, but Jesus was asleep in the boat. They all thought they were about to die, but Jesus wasn’t even paying attention to the storm. I love Jesus because He fell asleep. He said they were going to the other side, so they were going to make it to the other side. What if all of the disciples had just trusted His words enough to fall asleep? What if I trusted Jesus enough to relax through my storms and just let Him keep His promises?
