FAITH OVER FEAR



The disciples were stricken with panic when a severe storm developed while they were out on a boat with Jesus. Jesus was sound asleep when, in their fright, the disciples woke him. Jesus rebuked them because of their fearfulness and then prayed. Immediately the weather became calm. The disciples were dumbfounded that the weather obeyed him as they watched the storm dissipate before their eyes?



Jesus’ words, “Why are you fearful?” brings to light the concept that having faith eliminates our fears which makes sense. If we know and believe in our heart that everything is going to be all right, then why would we be afraid?





Scripture:

And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! (Matthew 8:24-27)



WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

We have learned that faith takes away our fears.



Our Father appreciates the fact that you are trying. May God’s blessing be upon this

study of His word, Amen.
