Matthew 8:23-27

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?”

Thoughts on Today's Verse:

Following Jesus does not always mean that our pathway will be calm and peaceful. However, we are to trust Him as He leads us for he will never leave us nor forsake us. When the storms come, and they will come, it is too easy to forget who it is that is present with us. This is what the disciples forgot, which prompted their question of his identity. So, when you find yourself in a storm of life, remember that you are not without hope, nor are you alone, for you have the Creator of the universe there with you!
