Read Mark 4:40-41.
When Jesus asked how it was that the disciples had no faith, you would think they would've paused, thought about it and then asked for correction and insight. Instead, they commented on something else (What a comment it was, too!). That subject of having little to no faith would surface again. Jesus wasn't going to let that slide.
Here is the lesson in this pericope (4:35-41): Faith is predicated upon hearing and understanding a word from Jesus at a specific time regarding a specific situation. Jesus had said, "Let us go cross to the other side." Pay attention to what Jesus says. When He speaks, He is telling you what He wants. He isn't telling you so that you have more information. Perhaps, then, you should work on establishing sensitivity to His voice. Learn how to become still and distinguish His voice from all others (including your own).
