Luke 8:23-25
23 But as they sailed He fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” Then He arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water. And they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marveled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”
When we are in trouble, do we cry out for help to God? Or do we hear what He says and know what He can do, trusting with faith that acts and relies on Him? Jesus saved them from the storm, but then asked where their faith was. So we see that He is God, able to control all elements that He spoke into existence and which He can change with a word any time. We must trust in God as Jesus by His Spirit agreeing with that inside us. Faith is real trust.
