Jesus Stills the Sea – Where is your faith in the storm?
8/9/10
Luke 8:22-25
22Now on one of those days Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.
24They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.
25And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

Where is your Faith in the Storm? Do your anxieties crush your faith?
Storms are coming. Whether life is easy, you see them coming or you are in the middle of them. This world is full of sin and the storms will Hit!
I don’t know about you but I am prone to worry about stuff that is out of my control. There are many different storms wherever you go. Some of them are so overwhelming that we want to hide in the bottom of the boat or under the covers. Our faith in Jesus Christ calls us to Trust completely in Him knowing that he calms the storms and grows us in the midst of them. So the next time the storm hits, it is more like a puddle on our sidewalk.
Prayer: God, command me to get out of the boat and walk on the waters of the storm. You hold my hand and comfort me always!
Ask the Lord today to comfort you in this storm and know that He is growing you in it!
CR is a great way to hit those storms head on and break all barriers to make us fully devoted followers of Christ.
This storm can make you stronger!
