Why Are You Afraid?
Why are you afraid?
Casting Crown has a new song born out of an encounter with cancer. It says, “Oh my soul you are not alone. There’s a place where fear has to face the God you know”. When will your fear of whatever face the God you know? It is either your fear is bigger than the God you know. Or your God is bigger than the fear you face right now. Take your fear to God in prayer right now.
The disciples of Jesus were confronted with their greatest fear – death. Jesus told them, ““Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Matthew 8:26
What are the waves and winds blowing on you or around you these days - unsaved loved ones, ill health, struggling marriage, children rebellion, debt, betrayal etc.?
Remember, Jesus is in the boat with you and you cannot perish. Who can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ? Not even death itself. Let’s give this great hope to many that don’t have it because they do not have a relationship with Jesus. We must tell them the gospel of salvation in Christ alone by grace through faith.
"Even the winds and the sea obey" the God you know. I trust you know him. If not, now is the time. Dear Jesus, help me to know you. Amen.
Matthew 8: 23-27: Today’s Reading and Study:
Wind and Wave Obey Jesus
23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. 25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. 27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
