I slept but my heart was awake. (SONG 5:2a)
So long as we remain in Christ Jesus what have we to fear? His heart is awake to us always. Like a lost child is overjoyed and comforted at the sight of his/her parents, we can rejoice knowing by our faith that Jesus never even, leaves our side. He is the constant rock in our lives. Through the ups and downs, through it all.
Let this be our cry, our prayer….
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! Never will I doubt His love for me. As I remain in Him, He remains in me. Thank you my Lord my God, for my faith, for my hope and my love in You. Amen
GOSPEL Matthew 8:23–27
As Jesus got into a boat, his disciples followed him. Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by waves; but he was asleep. They came and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” He said to them, “Why are you terrified, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great calm. The men were amazed and said, “What sort of man is this, whom even the winds and the sea obey?”
