A DailyDevotion for Monday, August 21

Matthew 8:26

He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Sometimes our fear and the emotions of the moment can take over-- even cause us to lose sight of the presence of God. We have the benefit of knowing and understanding the power and safety of the refuge we have in Christ. I can't blame the disciples for being terrified. They were living in that moment, and what a moment! I like to think that if I had been present in that time and place, I would have been convinced of the powers of Christ!

Holy Father, again I am reminded of your generosity and love for your creation. You provide safety for us so often, more often than we can even keep track of. Help me to stay on course, and to remain aware of your presence in every moment. Amen
