“The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.”
“Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.””
With Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm. This was likely the last thing on the disciples’ minds, with their boat being violently tossed about on the Sea of Galilee and taking on water.
Woken up by His disciples, Jesus then rebuked the storm before also rebuking them: “Where is your faith?” After all, they had been seeing Jesus perform miracles and listening to His teaching for some time already.
When you don’t have faith — fear is what drives you. Fear only causes complaining and produces panic. But faith in God lets you sleep in a storm, knowing that He has got you.
Are you living in fear or facing a storm today? Remember the work Jesus has done in your life, remember how you have listened and learned from Him.
Where is your faith?
