Luke 8:22-25  

It is Jesus who directs them to get into the boat and launch out to the other side. 

It is Jesus who falls asleep as they are sailing along.

 It is Jesus who remains asleep as the storm sweeps down and floods the boat. 

It is Jesus who rebukes the wind and waves... 

It is Jesus who asks, "Where is your faith?"

"Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?"

Who, indeed, is this?

The writer of Hebrews says it so well... 

"... in these last days [God] has spoken to us in His Son,

whom He appointed heir of all things,

through whom also He made the world.

And He is the radiance of His glory

and the exact representation of His nature,

and upholds all things by the word of His power." ( 1:2-3)

Jesus, who sits at the "right hand of the Majesty on high."  The One who has a name that is above all names. The One who is higher than the angels.  The One who has been given "the Righteous Scepter" of God's Kingdom.  Jesus is the One who was anointed.. and the One who was crucified so that we might be saved. 

Jesus commands the wind. Think of that!! There is nothing that He does not have authority over! 

Father, we struggle with the things in this world that are beyond us.. health issues, family issues, world issues.  We live in a world where sin seems to reign.. but we know.. we KNOW.. that this is not Truth.  Your Word has shown us that JESUS reigns.  He is the heir of all things.  He is the One who upholds all things..  And, we, who believe, are His possessions.  Where is our faith?  O God.. increase it! Remember us, that we are weak, and forgive us for our failures to completely trust and rest in You. 

Once again, I ask that You take control of me.. this body, I offer as a living sacrifice.. set apart for You.  I'm all in.. You are my God and I am Your child, in Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
