MATTHEW 8: 23-27

23 And when he was come into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24 And behold, there arose a storm in the sea so great that the waves covered the boat; but he was sleeping.

25 And his disciples came and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us, we perish!

26 He said to them, "Why are you afraid, men of little faith? Then, getting up, he rebuked the winds and the sea; and great bonanza was made.

27 And the men were amazed, saying, What man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?

When we talk about PEACE, we talk about rest, calm, relief, tranquility, health, full life. To conceive peace, we must do it from God's perspective. In order to enjoy it, we must first know God and have given him entrance to our life. It does not matter what tempest can rise in our lives, if we are accompanied by Christ in our boat, then, He has control of everything.

Many times in life the storms are very strong, and it seems that we can not against them, they become the daily bread for our life. The good thing about everything is that in the middle of the storm we have God who comes for our rescue when he rescues, he will not let us sink or perish in any circumstance whatsoever. As a loving father is always attentive to us his children, his love so great and so great reached us, and through him we can be sure that the storms of life can come, but God will never let us sink.

Can we have PEACE and be calm in the midst of the storms of life?

As the knowledge of God increases in you, you will see the difficulties from the perspective of Him. God does not want spiritual children who in the midst of the storms of life complain against God, the disciples claimed Jesus that because he was not careful of them, but the divine answer was: why fear, men of little faith ?. They came from a crusade of miracles and powerful events of the Lord. If you are a witness of the power of God, you can have peace in the storm because you know that Jesus is in your boat.

Jesus said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you; I do not give it to you as the world gives it. Not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. (John 14; 27).

The peace that the world gives is conditioned by several factors:

1 There is no peace during difficulties.

2 There is peace when there is no war.

Peace is based when you get what you want.

3 It is a peace that seeks its own needs.

4 Peace is if there is approval from others.

5 It is an individualistic peace.

The peace that God offers is a peace that remains during an unwanted event. It is a peace that surpasses all understanding, it is an indescribable peace. The peace of God is like a vitamin to the soul and spirit of man. It comforts, strengthens, encourages and brings rest in any circumstance of life.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4; 7)

The Peace of God brings emotional and spiritual stability so that we do not stop looking at Christ in the midst of difficulties. When someone loses peace he falls into despair and the next thing to this is that he can not control his mouth. A case similar to this can be seen in the gospel of:

Lucas 8

41 Then there came a man named Jairus, who was chief of the synagogue, and fell down at the feet of Jesus, begging him to enter his house;
42 because he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. And as he went the people thronged him.
49 He was still speaking, when one of the house of the chief of the synagogue came to tell him, "Your daughter is dead; do not bother the Master anymore.
50 When Jesus heard it, he answered him: Do not fear; believe only, and you will be saved.
51 When he entered the house, he did not let anyone in with him, except Peter, James, John, and the father and mother of the child.
52 And all wept and lamented for her. But he said: Do not weep; It is not dead, but it sleeps.
53 And they mocked him, knowing that she was dead.
54 But he took her by the hand and cried out, saying, "Girl, get up."
55 Then his spirit returned, and immediately he arose; and he ordered that he be fed.

In the midst of an irreparable human loss, the bad news that his daughter had died, was enough to think that nothing could be done, but Jesus told him not to fear. "That do not fear" is the opposite of peace. "In other words, Christ tells us in the midst of pain, anguish or the loss of something, do not fear, be calm, everything will be fine, just trust in Me." He is the prince of peace. (Isaiah 9; 5)

A popular phrase says: After the storm comes the calm.

We can say, in the middle of the storm we have calm because Jesus goes with us.
