Reminiscing Truths ⚓

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.  -Matthew 8:26 Why indeed are you afraid, self? Fear enters in when you focus on the waves and not on the Savior who beckons you to Him out of the comfort of your boat. Fear comes when you doubt the Hand that holds you. Fear comes when you fix your gaze on the troubles that assail you instead of the grace and the Author of that grace that sustains you. When you trust your own planning more than you trust the Divine Orchestrator of everything from eternity past, and when things don’t go your way, you begin to dread and fear. When you rely on your ability to understand and make sense of things and to know what to do, you begin to fear.
