In the wake of yesterday’s events and on the anniversary of one of our nation’s darkest days, let’s not allow the negative feelings most of us are experiencing today to control our words and actions. Let’s focus on the One who understands our pain. Let’s not focus on the storm. Focus on the One who can calm the storm.
Luke 8:22-25 says, “One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?””
Amen.
