Job 38:1,8-11
(1) Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, (8) “Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb, (9) when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness, (10) marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors, (11) and said, ‘Here you may come, but no further. Here your proud waves shall be stayed?’
Psalms 107:23-26,28-31
(23) Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters; (24) These see Yahweh’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep. (25) For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves. (26) They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble. (28) Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress. (29) He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still. (30) Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven. (31) Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
2 Corinthians 5:14-17
(14) For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge thus, that one died for all, therefore all died. (15) He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again. (16) Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. (17) Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
Mark 4:35-41
(35) On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side.” (36) Leaving the multitude, they took him with them, even as he was, in the boat. Other small boats were also with him. (37) A big wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so much that the boat was already filled. (38) He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are dying?” (39) He awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” The wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (40) He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?” (41) They were greatly afraid, and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
