In the Old Testament, God's control over the natural world is evident in stories such as the parting of the Red Sea (<a href="/exodus/14-21.htm">Exodus 14:21</a>) and the stopping of the Jordan River (<a href="/joshua/3-15.htm">Joshua 3:15-17</a>). The calming of the storm is a direct demonstration of divine authority, echoing the creation narrative where God speaks and the elements obey (Genesis 1). This phrase also foreshadows the New Testament account of Jesus calming the storm on the Sea of Galilee (<a href="/mark/4-39.htm">Mark 4:39</a>), illustrating His divine nature and authority. The imagery of a storm being reduced to a whisper signifies peace and tranquility, a common biblical metaphor for God's intervention bringing order out of chaos.<p><b>and the waves of the sea were hushed</b><br>The sea often symbolizes chaos and danger in biblical literature, as seen in the story of Jonah (<a href="/jonah/1-4.htm">Jonah 1:4-15</a>) and the tumultuous waters described in the Psalms (<a href="/psalms/46-2.htm">Psalm 46:2-3</a>). The calming of the sea represents God's ability to bring peace and safety to His people amidst turmoil. This phrase can be connected to the eschatological vision in Revelation where the sea is no more (<a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1</a>), symbolizing the ultimate removal of chaos and evil. The hushing of the waves also serves as a type of Christ, who brings peace to the believer's life, calming the storms of sin and strife. This act of calming the sea is a testament to God's faithfulness and His role as a refuge and strength for those who trust in Him (<a href="/psalms/46.htm">Psalm 46:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/107.htm">Psalm 107</a>, traditionally attributed to King David, who reflects on God's deliverance and faithfulness.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_storm.htm">The Storm</a></b><br>Represents the trials and tribulations faced by the people, both literal and metaphorical.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a></b><br>Often symbolizes chaos and danger in biblical literature, reflecting the challenges and uncertainties of life.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God</a></b><br>The central figure who demonstrates His power and authority over nature and life's circumstances.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_delivered.htm">The Delivered</a></b><br>Those who experience God's intervention and deliverance from their distress.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_over_nature.htm">God's Sovereignty Over Nature</a></b><br>God has ultimate control over the natural world, reminding us of His power and authority.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/trust_in_god's_deliverance.htm">Trust in God's Deliverance</a></b><br>Just as God calmed the storm, He can bring peace to the storms in our lives.
