Jesus responded, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. The disciples were amazed. "Who is this man?" they asked. "Even the winds and waves obey Him." Mt. 8:26-27 (NLT)
Wow! How do you think the disciples must have felt back then as they saw the waves crashing against their boat? They were 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 (pardon the pun), don’t we? “Lord, where are you?! "Are you there?" "Don’t you see these waves about to consume me?" "Do you care about 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! But you know what this passage really points out? This is the hard and fearful part... 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.
