We are Blessed when We have Great Faith-It is All About Trusting in Jesus!

 

On that day, as evening drew on, Jesus said to his disciples:

"Let us cross to the other side."

Leaving the crowd, they took Jesus with them in the boat just as he was.

And other boats were with him.

A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat,

so that it was already filling up.

Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion.

They woke him and said to him,

"Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"

He woke up,

rebuked the wind,

and said to the sea, "Quiet! Be still!"

The wind ceased and there was great calm.

Then he asked them, "Why are you terrified?

Do you not yet have faith?"

They were filled with great awe and said to one another,

"Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"

~Mark 4:35-41

So many people today are without faith. They worry about all the things of this world. They have insecurity complexes, want to be parts of clubs, unions, and cults to give them what they think is security, they need the approval of others or must have an iPhone or tattoos or whatever other pop-culture thing out there or on social media to help them fit in. So many live in fear, afraid of so much, they need masks, to wear gloves, worried they might catch something. So many today are living without any faith. It is sad to see. It is hard to understand, even when you see priests and clergy acting this way when they are supposed to be examples of Jesus.  It is hard to work with and live in a world of so many lacking in faith. Humans are complex creatures. We see so many with fear at work or out in public, they lack faith, always chasing something on this planet thinking it will give them peace, when it really never does. So many today do not want to go to church. Cannot be bothered with having a religion to belong to or to know Jesus or pray. People never want you to mention the Bible, God, Jesus, or sin and Satan. We all need to learn that with Jesus, we can have peace and calm. We do not have to be terrified or live with anxiety or fear, when we have faith and trust in our Lord! 

He is our Lord and Savior!
