23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” (Matthew 8)
Thoughts: Jesus would have us to listen to His power. We do not listen to His power with our ears but with our souls. He would have us trust in His power to calm the storm. Jesus shows us how to trust. He goes to sleep in the middle of a storm. Jesus, who calmed the demons, healed the sick, calmed the storm. He asked the disciples, and He asks us- "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Put your faith in the Almighty. Put your faith in the One who can calm the storm and raise the dead. His power will help us to overcome our fears.
Prayer: Lord, deep down I have fears. But, go deep down with your Spirit and calm us.
