Why are you afraid

Thursday, July 30, 2009 Weekday

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: Exodus 40:16-21, 34-38 Psalm 26:2-3, 9-12 Matthew 8:23-27

Matthew 8:26  And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O men of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

If God is with us, who can be against us?  That is the question that we must take seriously.  God, has all power and is the creator and sustainer of all things.  If he says that he will always be with us and will never forsake us, then what more could we possibly need or want?  The question is do we really believe in the miracle power of God?  Do we really believe the Bible and we we willing to live as though it is true?

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to truly believe and never doubt or be afraid.

Amen
