Luke 8:22-25 (KJV) - 22 Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. 23 But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 24 And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
Life is full of storms! We can't escape them! Based on this Scripture, we can ask some penetrating questions that will help us as we face the storms.
1. IS JESUS IN MY BOAT? Vs. 22
Have I trusted Him as my Savior and Lord? Romans 3:23, Romans 5:1-9, Romans 10:9-10
2. AM I FOLLOWING JESUS' DIRECTIONS? Vs. 22
The Disciples were out on the lake because Jesus directed them there. Are you spending time reading God's Word, hearing God's Word preached and taught, and praying so that you know Jesus' directions for you?
3. WHAT ARE MY STORMS? Vs. 23
Make sure you understand what storms you are facing today!
4. AM I PANICKING OR TRUSTING? - Vss. 24-25
Now I ask you, what is the better way to live?
5. DO I MARVEL AT THE AWESOME POWER OF JESUS? Vs. 25
