Jesus and the apostles were in a boat one time and a storm came up. Jesus was sleeping and the storm and the waves got so bad that the apostles got scared and woke up Jesus. With just words He calmed the storm. The apostles were shocked and God put it in the Bible.

So what can we learn?

That nothing takes presidence over God. Nothing.

But human people today are often just like the human apostles. Things happen, people say things and they get scared so they look for the option that they know best and act on that instead of talking to God.

That’s where loving your neighbors as yourself comes in.

God said to do it but people often write it off for reasons that they feel are valid and God’s commandment is ignored.

But as Christians we can change that.

Bad things may still happen just as the storm just got worse but God will prevail.

So the next time that something comes up or you don’t like something ask yourself if doing what seems normal to you is doing God’s commandment about loving your neighbor.

If the apostles had done that they wouldn’t have woken up Jesus.
