"But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Today's quote relates how little faith, even those who were closest to Jesus, demonstrated when fear overcame them. Those disciples should have had faith that nothing bad could possibly happen while Jesus was with them.
The quote also relates the awesome power of God over all things, including the weather.
Jesus is always in the boat with those of us who have placed our faith in Him. I wonder what He would say about the tiny amount of faith that is demonstrated by many of those who claim to be His people today?
Jesus promised to provide whatever we need if we truly need it and simply ask in faith. If you pray for something and don't get the answer you want, you might consider this quote; "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:2-3)~
