WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

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 what could or might happen to you?  Do you panic when you are confronted with an emergency or difficult problem?  Are you so afraid of everything that you fail to live, because you are afraid to die?  The One Truth Today is meant to point out to you that how you react to life has a lot to do with the measure of your faith in Jesus Christ!  How do you handle the big and little problems of life?  What if you thought you might crash or drown or be killed, how would you react?  A lot of people panic just as the disciples did in the storm.  The disciples shouted out to the Lord, because they were afraid they were going to drown.  It is natural to worry when you are in a storm, but the question Jesus wants to ask you is, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH!

When confronted with an emergency or problem, as believer's we should always ask this one question; what do I have to fear if I have the Lord Jesus Christ in my life?  If my faith and confidence is resolute,  the Lord is with me, always, even unto the end of time?  If you place your faith and trust in the Lord you can know for sure that He never fails.  Death where is thy victory, grave where is thy sting?  Your trust in Jesus Christ must remain unquestionable. When you have the Saviour you have someone who will rescue you no matter what the problem or what the emergency.  The only question we have to ask ourselves is, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?

No matter what the occasion in your life, Jesus is always there with you.  He never leaves us and He never fails.  So no matter the problem or emergency, stop and remember who is in control of the Universe, let alone your life.  If you lose a job, or a loved one, or become ill just remember to keep your faith in the Lord.  He never sleeps and He never loses control.  Try not to focus on the here and now, but always remember your eternal destination and its perfection!
Remember we are just passing through this world and our home is in Heaven.  Depend on the promises of God.  So the next time you worry or panic or lose control, try to hear the Lord asking you, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH?
