Be of Good Cheer – Even in the Storm

Matthew 14:27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them saying “Be of good cheer!  It is I; do not be afraid.”

Especially during this time of year with all of the afternoon thunderstorms, we can readily identify as to how fast life can change, even in an instant.  In Matthew 14:25-33 (also see Mark 6 and John 6) we have the story of Jesus, and momentarily Peter, walking on the water.  It is one of the great stories in the Bible about Jesus and His miraculous power.

We know our Lord has miraculous power and that is our focus.  But, what do we do when we know He is able to remove or calm our storms and yet He does not do so?  Yes, storms come, problems arise, life happens.  But as God’s children aren’t we immune?  Surely He will quickly and profoundly rescue us.  Won’t He?   Shouldn’t He?
