December 8 | Matthew 8:23-27 | Jesus Calms a Storm 

And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.” And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” 

Discussion Questions: Why is it important that the wind and water obeys Jesus? What does that say about who he is? 

Prayer: God, grant us a strong faith in you, that we should fear nothing in our lives and rest in the strength and courage you give us. Amen.
