Extracted from The Maxwell Leadership Bible
When a terrifying storm convinced the disciples they were about to die, they forget one important factor: Jesus was in the boat and had told them they were going to the other side of the lake (Mark 4:35). His word always comes to pass.
When they finally awakened Jesus, He got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and everything became completely calm. So long as the disciples assumed control of their situation, Jesus rested. But when they cast their care on Him and released control to Him, He cared for everything and they could rest.
This remains true for every leader today. While we must take responsibility, we are never to take control. Only God is big enough to take control. The principle works this way:
1. We care ... He rests. God will allow us to mess up the situation.
2. He cares ... we rest. When we release control to Him, we find peace.
