NO NEED TO PANIC

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 8:25-26

“Then the disciples came to Him and woke Him, saying, “LORD, save us! We are perishing!” But He said to them, “Why are you fearful. O, you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.”

Additional Verses

📖 Exodus 14:1-31; Psalm 23:1-6; Matthew 14:22-36

Children of God have a tendency to panic when they are faced with a challenging situation. It is like all the spiritual senses are shut down, and you let your carnal senses rise above your spiritual senses. Let me remind you that in your growth as a child of God, you should move away from that behavior. Do not allow your carnal senses to get the best of you because that will allow the enemy to find a window through which he can penetrate into your life. When you are faced with a terrible situation, remember that God is in control. The Israelites panicked when they were between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army following them. They cried to Moses. Exodus 14:12b-14 says, “Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians! It would have been better for us to serve them than to die in the desert.” Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today, you will never see them again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” The Lord God made the Israelites to cross the Red Sea on dry land whilst the Egyptians all drowned in the Red Sea. Do not be like the disciples also who, after witnessing many miracles that the LORD Jesus Christ performed, they panicked when they were at sea and there was a big storm. If you read Matthew 8, there are three miracles that Jesus Christ performed. First there was a leper whom Jesus Christ healed. Then came a Centurion who asked Jesus Christ to heal his servant who was sick with pulse. Jesus Christ told the Centurion that He would come to heal his servant, but the Centurion replied, “Lord, l do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the Word and my servant will be healed.” The Centurion was calm, knowing that what Jesus Christ would say, would come to pass. That was great faith shown by the Centurion. While all this happened, the disciples witnessed. Jesus Christ also healed Peter’s wife’s mother who had a fever. She was immediately healed and stood up and waited upon them. But now when they were on the ship, the storm came and the disciples panicked. All the mighty works that Jesus Christ had performed, they forgot and they woke the Master saying, “Lord save us! We are going to drown!” Jesus Christ marveled at their little faith. How could anything harm them when they were with Him? They thought they were perishing yet the Son of God was right there. Today, remember that Jesus Christ is Master of your life. 1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” He is in control of your life, if you allow Him. Therefore trust Him and do not panic when you are faced with terrible or challenging situations. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You Father for teaching me that as Your child, I do not need to panic. Help me to always let my spiritual senses take charge over my carnal senses no matter the situation. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray, Amen.
