Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 81: Today, I am grateful the winds and waves obey Him.
What a weather week we have had. I think we had all four seasons. The winds blow the leftover fall debris. The snow blanketed the ground on Thursday. It was 70 degrees on Tuesday. And spring-like weather was all in-between. Tornadoes touched down in neighboring communities. What a week.
It is good to be reminded who is in control.
Jesus slept in the boat while a storm brewed. The disciples were freaking out and woke him from his nap. He had been performing miracles for days. His human body was exhausted. They woke him up to do something.
He did.
"The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. Even the winds and waves obey him!” -Matthew 8:27
After traveling with Jesus and watching miracle after miracle, they did not fully understand. He was, indeed, God incarnate.
Too often, I fear I am like that, too. I get anxious and forget I have Jesus in my boat.
Today, I am grateful the winds and waves obey Him.
