Shalom beloved family of God. Here is the word for today.
📖 continue to read Luke 8:22-25.📖
Reasons why Jesus Christ asked His disciples where is your faith ?
✅Because Faith is resting in the Person of Christ. Did not these disciples know who He was? He had given them so many indications of His identity. Did they really think that the Son of God would be swallowed up in a little storm on the Sea of Galilee? It was a rebuke to their unbelief when He spoke to the storm and it quieted down like spoiled child.
It lay down at His feet in quietness at His word. They responded with awe and asked, “What kind of a man is this? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey him!” We know Jesus Christ, but do we really know who He is? Have we committed ourselves to One who can handle the crises of life that come to us? Indeed, He is the Lord of history. He is the Almighty Son of the living God. He is able to subdue all things to Himself. Faith relies upon who He is.
✅Because Faith is resting in the Promise of Christ. The disciples missed it. When Jesus said, “Let us go over to the other side
of the lake.” it included a promise. His command is His promise. What He commands He enables. They should
have understood that it was His responsibility to get them to the other side. Why fear … He will do what He has said he will do. He will take you over to the end of this year.
✅ Faith makes much of His promises, but fear forgets them. Faith remembers that
He said, “Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the age.” If He is with us, why should we be afraid? Do you feel forsaken? If you are His child, you are not forsaken. He never breaks a promise.
🛐🛐🛐May your faith rest in Christ Jesus and His promise. He alone will see you through in whatever you are going through in Jesus Name. 🙏🙏🙏
