🫣How can You do this, Lord?🤔

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

• Matthew 6:13 (KJV) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 

• lead us not 
• deliver us from
• For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

•   Colossians 3:1 (KJV) If ye then be risen with Christ, seek (Go after, Search for) those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
• Colossians 3:2 (KJV) Set  (Put in order) your affection  (passion) on things above, not on things on the earth. 

• Psalms 34:3 (KJV) O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt (elevate) his name together

Magnify “enlarger make bigger”  When we enlarge our awareness of Him we understand Him more and more. We do this by taking control of our mind and thinking more about our God. Magnify God instead of myself. Magnify Him    

• “thine is the kingdom” 
• “the power” 
• “the glory” 

And Minimize Me for I have no kingdom, no power and no glory.    

Mark Chapter 4 verse 35  

• Mark 4:35 (KJV) And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.

Chapter starts off with Jesus teaching by the sea side. Jesus used word pictures in His teaching or as the Bible says PARABLES. 

• Jesus taught about the sower and the seed, 
• the lite candle, 
• the seed that grew,  
• the small mustard seed. 

Now the day is coming to an end and Jesus says let go to the other side. Jesus sends the multitude away and He and His disciples enter into a ship. 

• Like the skipper, Gillian and the crew set sail that day for a 3 hours tour only to get shipwrecked on a deserted island. 
• All was well, Jesus heads to the rear and lays down and off to sleep He goes. But wait a minute the wind seemed to be picking up the wave oh my 😱the ship takes a nosedive and water rushes in and then the nose of the ship is straight up in the air. Fear races in among the crew as they see death as Imamate. 
• Wait hold on, where in the world is Jesus? He was in the rear. Has He been swept off into the raging sea? So they head to the rear and what do they see? Jesus fast asleep. 
• They wake Him and this is what that said 

“Oh Lord, thine is the power and the glory.” No! It had nothing to do with who was really in charge, no not at all. Instead we hear this me cry “cares thou not that we perish?”   Don’t You care! Wait just a minute had they not been in class all day learning about how much He cares? Where were these disciples in the seed class as Jesus taught about the Word? Where were these disciples when Jesus taught about being the light that’s not to be hidden?  How about the class of the seed that grew and produced fruit? Oh they must have been asleep when Jesus had the special session where He expounded all He had taught to his Disciples. When the storm was going on this is what they learned “cares thou not that we perish?” The  storm that made the Disciples panic made Jesus drowsy. We like those Disciples aren’t listening and if you aren’t listening you are not learning. 

Read what Jesus did after “cares thou not that we perish?”

• Mark 4:39 (KJV) And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 

All was good or was it? Well the sun is back out, the birds singing and gentle breeze is again blowing, not a cloud in the sky, boy Jesus is wonderful. Really? Do you think so? Jesus had spent the day teaching and to make sure His disciple got it He explained it in a personal private class. Oh their grade after the test an F. What do you think

• Mark 4:40 (KJV) And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

But it goes further than that no matter the storm, no matter the fears and no matter the misunderstanding look what happened. 

• Mark 4:35 (KJV) And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
•  Mark 5:1 (KJV) And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

How many tests have you and I failed??
