Matthew 8:26-27 (ESV)
26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of
little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a
great calm. 27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that
even winds and sea obey him?”
What must the disciples have felt back then as they saw
the waves crashing against their boat? They we’re being swayed from side to
side in the deep dark sea. They were afraid for their lives! But our Lord was
there all along. He just wanted them to trust.
So often we find ourselves in that same boat, don’t we?
“Lord, are you there?! Don’t you see these waves about to consume me?!
But He does! He sees all, hears all, knows all. He is the
same Lord that calmed that storm two thousand years ago and He can cause the
winds and the seas, and the trials of our lives to become calm in an instant!
Ahh, but it’s usually in the storms that He will display His awesome power!
Let's renew our trust in the Lord today. God has great
plans for those who will put their trust in Him.
Dear Lord, help us to trust You in the midst of the
storms that hit us in life. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
