EVEN THE WINDS AND THE SEA

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “The men were astounded and said, ‘Whatever kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him’.” (Matthew 8:23-27)

Reflection. It is an awesome moment in the gospel when the weakness of human beings comes face to face with power of God. The disciples realise their utter fragility in the storm at sea, They are helpless with a helpless ness that we often feel in the face of the “storms” that come our way. Yet God is there even if he is “asleep”. We can write and say these things but can they have an impact on our way of proceeding. Can we trust?

Prayer. Lord, we ask for that deep trust that you are with us even if it seems as though you are asleep. Amen
