To PATH this day, I don’t know if I’ve experienced a deeper certainty of God’s presence than that night in the storm. Jesus is no stranger to storms. In Mark 4:35–41, He told His disciples to head across a lake that would soon turn windy and wild. The storm that night tested and bested these rugged fishermen. They too thought Into Our Storms they were going to die. But Jesus calmed the water and then led His disciples to deeper faith. BIBLE READ: MARK 4:35–41 Likewise, Jesus invites us to trust Him in our storms. Sometimes He miraculously stills the winds and the waves. Sometimes He does something equally miraculous: He steadies our hearts and helps us to trust THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Him. He asks us to rest in the belief that He has the power to say to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the Lord, the storms of our lives sometimes seem like they will swamp us. Help us trust that You are the waves, “Quiet!

EastErn Mirror | Dimapur, Saturday, April 14, 2018 Kardashian robbery suspect nabbed in southern France French police have arrested a man on the Cote d’Azur over the robbery at gunpoint of US reality TV star Kim Kardashian in Paris in 2016, sources involved in the investi- gation said today. The man is to be brought before a magistrate later to face pos- sible charges, a judicial source said. Ten people have already been charged over the Mirror October 2, 2016 robbery at a luxury residence where Kardashian was staying during 10 Paris Fashion Week. Five men tied her up, gagged her and locked her in a bathroom, before making off with USD 10.6 million in jewels, including her four-million-euro diamond engagement ring. The robbery was the biggest of an individual in France ENTERTAINMENT in the past 20 years. One of the robbers fleeing the scene on a bicycle dropped a diamond-encrusted cross worth 30,000 euros, which was found by a passer-by a few hours later. It remains the only piece to be recovered from the heist. (AFP/PTI) Nat.
