Stirred By The Scriptures

Faith requires us to act and respond in ways that are not normal. Once when Jesus was traveling with the disciples in a boat a violent storm overtook them. Matthews account says “waves swept over the boat.” Their response was to be afraid - no kidding! If you put me in a boat and waves were washing over it I would not only be afraid, I would also be losing my lunch. Jesus responds with “You of little faith, why are you so afraid.” Somehow his presence and their faith in him should have been enough to calm their fear. I wonder if his presence in our lives is enough for us?
