Evening: Psalm 23, 27; Matthew 14:22-36
Jesus’
disciples have weathered storms before. But Jesus walking on water is
something new. Why would he do this? Something in me doesn’t care.
It’s odd to read it on Remembrance Day, when we recall the sacrifices
others have made for us. I’m grateful for Jesus’ sacrifice too, but,
for me, he didn’t need to walk on water, that’s all. Perhaps the Gospel
tells this story, though, to teach me that Jesus prepared himself for
great trials by prayer. Prayer will prepare me, too, and strengthen my
faith so that I’m ready to confront even death itself if I must.
