What Kind of Man?
Jesus answered, "Why are you afraid? You don't have enough
faith." Then Jesus stood and gave a command to the wind and
the waves. The wind stopped, and the lake became very calm.
The men were amazed. They said, "What kind of man is this?
Even the wind and the water obey him!"
-- Matthew 8:26-27 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
There is nothing that can stand in the way of Jesus. No enemy has the
power -- he simply casts out the demons. No teacher or skeptic can
stump him with a question. No disease can withstand his call for
healing. Not even nature can baffle or threaten him. He is not just a
man. He is God's Son. He is Immanuel, God with us. But until we can
fully understand who he is, we can be secure that he will care for us
and bring us to his home! Fear is not just being troubled with
circumstances; it also is the uncertainty about what will ultimately
happen to us. Jesus shows his disciples that their safety, their
destiny, is under his command and nothing can withstand his grace
offered to bless his disciples.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
My God, Almighty Lord, please act with your strong power to still the
storm in the hearts of those I love. Give them peace and calm and lead
them to know that Jesus is not only their source of help, but that he
is so much more than a mere mortal man. In the name of Jesus my Lord I
pray. Amen.
