Where's Your Faith?

Luke 8:22-25

Now it happened on one of those days, that he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let's go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out. But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water. They came to him, and awoke him, saying, “Master, master, we are dying!” He awoke, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it was calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid they marveled, saying one to another, “Who is this, then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”

How long have you known the Lord? Yet why now do you rely upon the capacity of the winds to scatter? Have the Lord withheld good things from you that now you have learned to trust the ability of water to gather and keep?
