Scripture

Luke 8

Jesus Calms the Storm

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. 23 As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.

24 The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. 25 Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”

The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!”
Observation

Where is your faith? I think that is what the Lord has been asking me lately. How about you? It seems that everything is so overwhelming, the war, our country’s financial situation, the struggle to see our church grow, and at every turn it seems like the Lord is saying to me, “Where is your faith?”

“Faithful is He who has called you who will also do it!” Period – end of story! “Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He can handle whatever storm that comes into our lives. Period.

Application

I am placing my faith back into the hands of the One who calms the sea! How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, this story is a good reminder for me that faith needs to be firmly placed in the One that is above all the impossible circumstances that may surround me today. I am again reminded that “nothing is too hard for You.” NOTHING. You are all powerful and storms of any kind are nothing for you to calm. Calm my heart this morning. Help me trust in Your Powerful Name.
