“The men were amazed and asked, ‘What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!’”

Matthew 8:27

Dear Jesus, They asked what kind of man you were. As the God/man you really are very different from us. My

generation spends so much time talking about how you came to be with us and save us that we forget

sometimes to give credence to your majesty. You rule all things! You are the center of the universe. And you

are our friend. It means we are going to be okay. We don’t need to fear so easily in a storm. You are in the

boat with us. Calm my troubled heart and help me let go to the thought that you are guiding so much more

than our ship. You are guiding the planet on which the seas roll under the ship. When I think about who you

are I think less about short term storms. Amen..

He guides the ocean beneath the ship, not just the ship
