Faith

35That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” 39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Even the winds and the waves obey Him. Wow! If I know, or have faith, that God loves me, what do I have to fear? Really!  What?  Death? Life? Angels? Demons? The present?  The future? Any powers? Nothing! Wow! Nothing? 

So, I don't need to worry about my grandchildren or my children and their marriages?  Their safety?  Their spiritual life? No, according to this script, I don't need to worry,  but I do need to pray and do what God tells me to do.  

Look at Jonah. God told him to go to Nineveh to tell them about Him and that He would destroy them if they didn't repent.  Jonah tried not to go. ..we all know how that turned out. We must pray and follow God's leading and we will have no worries because of our faith. 

Father,  please help me to stay in you, in your wishes, in your timing, do what you want me toy do, show your love and concern to others.  In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
