to tell you today that there is someone
in your boat that and calm the storm and
that person is Jesus Matthew 8:
23-27 then he got into the boat which is
Jesus and his disciples followed him
suddenly a furious storm came up on the
lake so that the wav swept over the
boat but Jesus was sleeping the
disciples went and woke him saying Lord
save us we're going to drown he replied
you of little faith why are you so
afraid afraid now I'm going to set that
aside for a second and talk about what
he just said why are you so afraid why
are you so
afraid what are you afraid of what are
you afraid of losing who are you afraid
of losing what are you afraid of missing
out on why are you scared when you know
Jesus is in your boat and maybe you
don't know that and that's why I'm here
to tell you that
but I think a lot of times we always
count on our own strength we count on WE
count on our own ability to assess the
situation and control the situation and
we hear this all the time we hear that
God's with you all this stuff but we
don't believe it because we are lacking
Faith we're lacking that trust that okay
since Jesus is sleeping I can be
sleeping as well it doesn't matter
what's going on outside of my boat
because the one in the boat is able to
control the
storm and I think it's the lack of the
realization as well that God is really
in control that
we get
afraid now this comes from me as well
this goes for me and I'm always afraid
of things I'm always not always
obviously but there's times in my life
where I feel like there's no God is in
control there's times in my life where I
feel like
I might
sink the boat the ways might overcome me
but when we think about this for a
second God is sleeping so I can sleep as
well
that's the mindset that can change your
life now let me finish it up for you
guys then he got up and rebuked the
winds and the waves and it was
completely calm the men were amazed and
asked what kind of man is this even the
winds and waves obey him bro this
scripture is packed with wisdom but we
forget that God is in control and now we
know so what I want you guys to do for
me is that I want you guys to think
about a time in your life or even if
you're going through a time in your life
right now that you feel like you're not
in control you feel like nothing is
going right and you feel like you're
having a hard time trusting God I want
you to visualize God right next to you
just sitting there sleeping because
that's what he's doing he's next to you
watching you he's next to you relaxing
so why are you so
tense now I'm talking about myself as
well so the moral of the story is that
we need to realize that God is in
control and we need to realize that he
has the power to control our situation
he has the power to fix it I hope you
