JESUS SAID, "PEACE, BE STILL." And the wind ceased. Our Lord is able. He is worthy of our trust. He dispels our fears. Where there is little faith there are many fears. The disciples were filled with alarm and Jesus inquires, "How is it that ye have no faith?" May not our heavenly Father often address us in the same language: "How is it that ye give no credit to my word? How is it that ye place no dependence upon my person, character and faithfulness? How is it that ye have no confidence in my power, presence, and love? How is it that ye do not expect my help and look for my supplies? Have I not made promises which are plain, positive, and sure? Have I not fulfilled my promises again and again? Have I not summoned witnesses to attest the truth of my word? Have I not promised you my Holy Spirit? Have I not pledged my holiness? Have I not given my Son for you and to you? Have I not appeared for you in every past difficulty? How is it, then, that ye have no faith?" Beloved, let us humble ourselves before God. Let us plead guilty of indulging in unbelief and plead for faith. Let us look to God in every place and in everything. Let us trust Him when we cannot trace Him.

For Meditation:
Why should my soul indulge complaints
And yield to dark despair?
The least of all my Father's saints
Are safe beneath His care;
Dear Lord, increase my faith in Thee
Till I Thy face in glory see.
