O You Of Little Faith

But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" - Matthew 8:26 - 27 (NKJV)

There was a story where Jesus' disciples were in a boat together with Jesus. Jesus was sleeping at the stern of the boat. And there was a great storm hitting the boat. The disciples were afraid and probably terrified of the storm even though most of them were seasoned fishermen. That must have been quite a storm to frighten the disciples. Yet Jesus was sleeping, a rest He needed.

The disciples were so scared that they woke Jesus up and asked Him to save them. Jesus awoke to calm the boisterous storm and turned to His disciples to calm the storm in their hearts. Jesus didn't chide the disciples for waking Him up. Instead, He reminded them of His promise, presence and His power. His promise because He told them that they will go over to the other side of the sea. His presence because He was right there with them. His power because He just demonstrated His power to still the wind and the waves.

Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He has the power to change our lives according to the Heavenly Father's will. He is working behind the scene to make all things turn out for our good. While not all things are good and perfect at the moment, all things shall turn out for our good eventually. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. - Romans 8:28 (NKJV) As long as you are a child of God, He shall work all things for our good!

With God, all things are possible. The bible didn't tell us to look at our faith to believe for good happenings. The bible tells of the Author and Finisher of faith Himself, Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. He is here to sozoe us and to bless us in all things to enjoy! We are to look to Him whom nothing is impossible to Him. We are to take and receive from Jesus. Each of us has been given a measure of faith, use it! The more we exercise our "little" faith, the stronger will the faith be.

The only people that Jesus said had great faith were the Roman centurion and the Cannanite woman. They have great faith because they don't look at their own qualifications to deserve miracles in their lives but they looked to Jesus alone for the miracles they wanted to manifest! Whatever we are believing God for, keep believing! For it shall come to pass in His perfect time. Keep exercising our faith by proclaiming the victories that Jesus has already won on our behalf. Keep focusing on the One who never fails. His work at the cross is completely complete! There is nothing impossible to Jesus. Hallelujah!
