"Why are you so terrified, O you of little faith?"
Matthew 8:26
Jesus is asleep in the boat while the storm is raging. That is such an interesting thing to think about today, isn't it? Jesus, who knows all, created all, sees the Big Picture from start to finish, is asleep in the boat. So, really, how bad could the storm be? Really? What I've noticed is that, through age, experience and spiritual growth, I react a bit differently to troublesome situations. I used to freak out a lot more! But, think about it. You scan the horizon and see trouble coming. You brace yourself for the storm, hang on, and eventually the storm passes. You shake yourself off and think, "Wow--I made it through the storm!" The next time you see clouds coming you think, "Things will work out...remember last time?" Well, back to Jesus asleep in the boat. Jesus experienced the absolute worst the world had to offer and yet, he came through it and leads us through it too. Now, that is someone you want to follow, right? No matter how stormy things may seem, let's follow Jesus to faith through the storm. Love, heidi
