Matthew 8:23–27
And when Jesus got into the boat, his
disciples followed him. A windstorm arose on the sea, so great that the boat
was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him
up, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!" And he said to them,
"Why are you afraid, you of little faith?" Then he got up and rebuked
the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm. They were amazed, saying,
"What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?"
Reflection
Do I have complete trust in the protection
of God?
Have there been occasions in my own life
when I invoked the Lord’s help and he restored peace and calm to my troubled
waters?
