Matthew 8:24-26
24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He 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.
Do you ever have one of those, ‘Wow! I can’t believe that worked!’ moments? You are in the middle of your storm. You cry out to the Lord, and then the storm breaks. Not only are you happy, but you are so excited and surprised the Lord came through. Don’t worry you are not alone. I think we all have those moments. I am sure the disciples did.
I am not so sure Jesus was upset with them for being afraid of the storm or for waking Him up with doubt that He would or could do anything about it. He saw their hearts, we do not. Fear of a situation is real. It is when we let that fear bring along its buddy doubt that we lose faith in the One who can Master the storm!
Storms are inevitable in our lives. It is when we learn to ride them out trusting God will handle it that we truly conquor them. Remember the old saying. When Satan says you can’t survive the storm. Remind him you are the storm!
Thank You for taming my storms! Amen
