Trust in God Often the Last Extremity
Mark 4:35-41
And the same day, when the even was come, he said to them, Let us pass over to the other side.…


While a small steam packet was crossing a stormy bay, the engine suddenly stopped, and for a few minutes the situation was one of real peril. One old lady rushed to the captain with the anxious inquiry whether there was any danger. "Madam," was the uncompromising reply, "we must trust in God." "O sir!" wailed the inquirer, "has it come to that?" A good many Christians feel like that in times of peril; they are willing to trust in everything — except God. There are some children, who are afraid that a thunderstorm is about to burst over them every time a cloud gathers in the sky; and if the sky is cloudless, they are certain that it is only the calm before the storm. They can always see the coming storms, but cannot trust the goodness that sends them.
