A peaceful voyage is not the ticket Christians travel on. But a peace-filled journey, with Christ always present, is. Even to cry out is to assume that there may be a God who cares and who not only cares but acts. The Deists assumed that God created the world, set certain processes in motion, then absconded, leaving us to our own devices. Sorry, there are certain natural laws which have been established, certain climatic processes, and when they converge, there are storms.
Nothing is to be done about it.
Jesus, who is unconcerned about the storm, the wind, the waves and the raging sea, is concerned about his disciples, the ones who have ventured forth with him in the boat. At their cry, he rouses himself, rebukes the waves and the wind, and there is calm. Jesus cares, not only cares, but acts, saves. Here is good news in the middle of the storm. And yet, permit me to note just one thing in closing.
