WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Week of Monday July 21 – July 27
Salute your Superior – Man as Defender

And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” - Mark 4:36-41 ESV

In this amazing account of Jesus calming the stormy wind and sea, it is interesting to note how the disciples’ fear of the turbulent waters was eclipsed by an even greater fear. They realized they were in the presence of One who could command the raging sea with a just a few words. To the disciples, the sea represented something untamable, yet Jesus brought it to a peaceful calm. They began to understand that He was more than just a Galilean rabbi. So, they trembled before Him and said to each other, “Who is this? Who has that kind of power? Who has authority over creation? Who can give a command and have the wind and sea obey?”

In my years of military service to our great nation, I had the privilege of witnessing the greatest military power the modern world has ever seen. Military power so great that entire cities could be laid waste by just a simple order. Weapons so overwhelmingly fierce that they could leave people shocked and awed. However, it is important to remember that all our military’s might is of no good use if not properly deployed, directed with wisdom and for just cause.

As a husband and father, you play a vital role in leading your family under Christ’s guidance. There is a spiritual conflict taking place in our world. The storms of life are raging all around our loved ones, threatening to take them down. God has entrusted us with the responsibility to tap into His strength and wisdom to defend our families. To be effective spiritual defenders, we must be fully equipped and fully engaged with understanding that can only come from a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. We must bow before Him and obey His commands before we issue our own.
