As they were crossing the lake in their tiny boat, a powerful storm overcame them. They came to a frightful perception of the truth, "we're going to drown!" (Luke 8:24a). However, their fear was not the truth for them.
The Truth (cf. Jn 14:6) was lying, asleep in the hull of the boat. The presence of Jesus in their boat and his power changed the reality of the raging storm to calm waters (cf. Luke 8:24b).
Jesus said, "I am the truth, the way and the life" (John 14:6, cited above) and that is so regardless of your perception of truth. Whatever your "storm," your faith in The Lord can change the final word on it to Victory!
Cliches notwithstanding, perception is not necessarily reality - the power of Christ in our lives through faith is. When we allow Jesus to trim our sails, our boats will ride out the storm, not be ruined by it. Jus' Say'n.
