Where Is Your Faith? (Luke 8)
When a storm overtook the disciples’ boat in Luke 8, they cried out in fear. Jesus calmed the storm but then he challenged them: “Where is your faith?†Ok, let’s own it. Faith when you’re safe at harbor is easier than faith in the midst of the storm. And yet, we’re called to look past our circumstances and trust the Savior. That’s not easy. I often lose perspective and panic. But I am encouraged that the One who calmed the raging waves with a word, can be trusted with what I can’t control.

Ron: So, where is your faith?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: When a storm overtook the disciples’ boat in Luke 8, they cried out to Jesus in fear. Jesus calmed the storm but then he challenged them: “Where is your faith?” Ok, let’s own it. Faith when you’re safe at harbor is easier than faith in the midst of the storm. And yet, we’re called to look past our circumstances and trust the Savior. That’s not easy for me. I often lose perspective, panic, and take it out on those around me. It’s not pretty.
But I am challenged by this story and encouraged that the One who calmed the raging waves with a word, can be trusted with what I can’t control. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
