He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. Matthew 8:26
Have you had “you-of-little-faith” experiences?
It’s that experience where you thought it would be just another ordinary, slow, uneventful day for you as the previous days had been.
Then, surprisingly, the day turns out to be grand, fast, and eventful—very opposite to what you’ve been used to expecting.
What could have been a quiet and cold day, another day of waiting, becomes a noisy, joyful day abundantly, exceeding your expectations.
Then, as the eventful day comes to a close, you realise that you have had another you-of-little-faith experience.
The storms of life might blur your vision, and you can’t see clearly ahead. Your faith will guide you. As Jesus calmed the storm, He will surely give you peace beyond your understanding.
Maybe you’ve experienced many trials, failures, and frustrations and think the Lord God isn’t listening to you.
During quiet and uneventful moments in your life, don’t be afraid or doubtful; instead, focus on your faith and God’s provision.
One of the great things I’ve learned from my mother is her faith and trust in God’s power.
In all our family’s trials, she would calmly say, “magsalig lang kita sa Ginoo” (let us trust the Lord).
Growing up in faith, I said the same phrase as we face uncertain days. And I could say it with great confidence because surely the Lord God never fails.
So, are you struggling, wondering what lies ahead?
Don’t lose hope. Persevere and wait patiently for Him.
The Lord God is building your faith and wants you to trust Him.
As Jesus calmed the storm, He will surely give you peace beyond your understanding.
You-of-little-faith experiences are His ways of building your faith and enabling you to expect extraordinary things from Him.
