When are you going to get real faith?

Morning: Psalms 66, 67; Judges 11:1-11, 29-40; 2 Corinthians 11:21b-31
Evening: Psalms 19, 46; Mark 4:35-41

The story of Jesus calming the storm – Lake Galilee can be very dangerous – is a microcosm of the larger story of God’s providence … that the powers of evil and chaos will not prevail in the end.  Life throws all kinds of troubles in our direction and we have a choice: we can face them with faith; or be overwhelmed with fear.  Faith leaves you free to respond to the inevitable crises; but fear takes away your freedom and leaves you prone to just 2 Corinthireact.  Which is why Jesus challenges the disciples to start putting their faith in God.
