Morning by Morning, January 31, 2025 - “Lord, Save Us!” through the Sudden Storms Good morning, Lord Jesus. Fill my mind with Your thoughts and my heart with Your desires, as I turn my eyes upon You to begin my day grounded in the Word of God and filled with the Spirit of God. ... “Now when (Jesus) got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ “But He said to them, ‘Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?”’ Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, ‘Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?’” (Matthew 8:23-27). That sudden storm must have felt overwhelming. And when Your disciples saw You sleeping, they must have felt like You didn’t see, or You didn’t care, or You didn’t know what to do. But they cried out to You anyway--“Lord, save us!” Then, before You rebuked the storm, You first rebuked their lack of faith. They were thinking this sudden storm was mightier than the Son of God. But it was not. And soon, all was restored to “a great calm.” The greatest “calm” must have been the calm in their hearts, the calm of Your peace, the calm of knowing even the winds and the sea of every sudden storm must submit to You and obey Your command. The truth is You were with them in the storm, even when they wondered, even when it didn’t feel like it, even when the winds and the waves were very real and really were overwhelming them in the moment. But You brought them through it. You always do; You always with. Lord Jesus, You know every sudden storm we’re facing today. Fill us with faith to trust in You, to trust that You see and You care and You know what to do. And as we cry out, “Lord, save us!”, You hear and You answer and You move on our behalf. Give us grace to trust in that, grace to trust in You through every tempest and sudden storm we’ll ever face. For You are the God who says and who shows, “I AM with you always” (Matthew 28:20). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
