LUKE 8:24-25
Jesus rebuked the wind and the raging waters. The storm stopped and all was calm. Then Jesus asked them, 'WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?"
Do you worry a lot? Are you concerned about everything that might happen or could happen? Do you panic when confronted with an emergency or severe problem? How do you handle both little and big problems? What if you thought you might drown or crash or be killed, how would you react? I am guessing that a lot of you might panic as the disciples did in the storm. They shouted at the Master, "were going to drown". It is a natural response to worry when you are in a storm but it will depend on your faith as to your response!
As believer's we should always ask ourselves the following question when confronted with an emergency of problem. Why am I so fearful? Where is my faith and trust and confidence? If you have your faith and trust and confidence in Jesus Christ then you can know and have verification that He never fails. The integrity of Jesus is unquestionable. We have a Saviour that will protect us and come to our rescue no matter what the problem or emergency. The real question we need to ask ourselves is WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?
This truth for today is to be used in your life on every occasion. Jesus is always there and He never will fail us. So if you think that the loss of a job or a loved one or an election is threatening your life and existence, stop and remember who is in control. He is not asleep at the wheel and He is in complete control of everything. Try not to focus on the here and now but the future and eternity that God has promised you. We are just passing through this world and we have nothing that we will take with us when we leave the earth. We will have nothing but a love and trust in our God and the promises that He has made to us WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?
