A storm rose quickly on the Sea of Galilee, and the disciples were afraid. Although they had seen Jesus perform many miracles, the disciples feared for their lives, so they turned to their Savior, and He calmed the waters and the wind. Sometimes we like the disciples, feel threatened by the inevitable storms of life. And when we are fearful, we too, can turn to Christ for courage and for comfort.The next time you are afraid, remember that the One who calmed the wind and the waves is also your personal Savior. And remember that the ultimate battle has already been won at Calvary. We, as believers, can live courageously in the promises of our Lord and we should.

Sometimes we face disappointments and challenges that leave us worried and afraid, let us be mindful that our God is by our side and so we should have nothing to fear. He has promised never to leave us or forsake us. How can God direct our steps if we are not taking any? Let us be courageous this day and every day. — Matthew 14:27
