And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. A gale arose on the lake, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’ Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm. They were amazed, saying, ‘What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?’ (Matthew 8:23-27, NRSV)
If Jesus is asleep is anything really going to happen to them? Plus if he is able to sleep, how bad can the storm be any how?
We always seem to see the waves as bigger than they are. Problems seem over whelming, but if we can let Jesus walk with us through life, our problems will be under control. Not that we won’t have problems or waves anymore, Jesus never said that He would take the storm away, but that He would be with us through the storm.
So let Him calm you and the waves… and have a little faith in Him!
