What, me worry?

"Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” 26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. 27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”  Matthew 8:23-27

I would have been afraid too. Their boats were 26 ft long -- less than half the length of a school bus. And it's nighttime. 

We all have worries. Problems happen because that is this world. We will feel need to worry because we have responsibilities.

"'Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?'" Matthew 6:25-27

"I can do all this through Him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13



Jesus was in the boat with them. We have Jesus too. Is Jesus awake in our lives?

"He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm." Matthew 8:26

Rebuke means "express sharp disapproval or criticism of someone because of their actions."

Jesus was getting after the storm, telling the weather to behave!

it doesn't matter what happens here on earth. We know the ending. We just have to have Him actively working in our Lives. We have to give Him the permission to do this.

Faith of a Child.


"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4

A growing working thing -- ouur relationship with God. Keep maturing no matter what's going on (good or bad). Especially when things go wrong.

"Then Jesus came to them and said, 
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."
Matthew 28:18

Don't worry about the little things -- God's got that. We gotta let Him take care of those things, know that he will and just do His work. He's working on a plan right now. His timing is better than ours. Live by your faith. We can't be stagnant.
