January 11 :: Genesis 27-28; Matthew 8:18-34

This is pretty cool! Have you thought about the extent of the Lord's faithfulness recently?

Matthew 8:25-26

"The disciples went and woke him, saying, 'Lord, save us! We're going to drown!' 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."



Why is it that we believe, so securely, that Old Faithful (Yellowstone National Park, Wisconsin), will erupt everyday, at every hour - but we cannot believe in the mighty protective strength of Jesus Christ nor believe that He can and will answer our prayers? Why?


He is mighty. He IS strength. He is...the most ancient of old faithfuls. He does not fail. And we believe. Our hope is not put to shame, but set free.

    Why are we so afraid. It seems like whenever we get put into a place of fear we give into that fear instead of looking to our faith for the answers. I was reading a passage from peter with my core group the other day and this similar message popped up.

    "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" - 1 Peter 5:7

    Wouldn't life be so much better if we just placed our faith on the lord.

    "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" is a very empowering quote (my favorite in fact). I think it's very helpful in times of uncertainty and fear because you can just think to yourself, 'Why do I doubt? "For light does the darkness most fear", not the other way around.'
