This is one of my favorite paintings by Rembrandt, painted in 1633 titled "The Storm On Galilee". The story in the Bible and offers a valuable lesson.
The disciple with Jesus are panicking, while Jesus took a nap. Do we panic when devastating things seem to happen or do we trust that the Lord can do anything we ask of Him? Trust God when things look bad!
Matthew 8:23-27
23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
