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!”
Key Thought
There is nothing that can stand in the way of Jesus. No enemy has the power — he simply casts out demons. No teacher or skeptic can stump him with a question. No disease can withstand his call for healing. Not even nature can baffle or threaten him. He is not just a man. He is God’s Son. He is Immanuel, God with us. But until we go home to him and can then fully understand who he is, we can be secure that he will care for us and bring us to his home! Fear is not just being troubled with circumstances; it also is the uncertainty about what will ultimately happen to us. Jesus shows his disciples that their safety, their destiny, is under his command and nothing can withstand his grace offered to bless his disciples.
Today’s Prayer
My God, Almighty Lord, please act with your strong power to still the storms in the hearts of those I love. Give them peace and calm and lead them to know that Jesus is not only their source of help, but that he is so much more than a mere mortal man. In the name of Jesus, my Lord, I pray. Amen.
