Today we are reading Luke 8. In this chapter we read about Jesus calming the storm. “One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”” Luke 8:22-25 ESV This story difficult to grasp. Jesus commands the wind and the waves and they obey! We, on the other hand, simply endure what the weather throws at us. Imagine if you could command the weather! What does this authority indicate about Jesus? How does that give you comfort? May the God of all Creation give you peace in knowing He is watching over you. Pastor Tim
