I want to share a passage from the Message for 8/24 and 8/25. Matthew 8:23-25 says, "Then he got in the boat, his disciples with him. The next thing they knew, they were in a severe storm. Waves were crashing into the boat—and he was sound asleep! They roused him, pleading, "Master, save us! We're going down!"
The disciples were in a storm and they panicked...with Jesus right in the boat with them. We've all done the same, haven't we? When storms rock our world, the first inclination is to panic. We tend to forget that, as Christ followers, Jesus is with us.
The disciples still knew where to turn for help, when the storm hit. They called on Jesus and He heard their cry. Storms can literally rock our world, but when we call out to Jesus, He hears us and He comes to our rescue. He may calm the storm, or He may just hold His children until we get through it. Either way, I am assured that He won't let us go down if we call on him and hold on to Him with all of our strength.
"Call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory." Psalm 50:15
