Introduction
Would-be followers of Jesus approach him. Jesus retreats from the crowd with his disciples and crosses the lake in a boat. He falls asleep, but when a storm erupts, the disciples become frightened. Jesus calms the wind and waves, and when they arrive on the other side of the lake, Jesus is met by two men possessed by demons.
Today’s Key Scripture: Matthew 8:27
Everyone was amazed. “What kind of man is this?” they said. “Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Today’s Reading
Matthew 8:18-34
Reflect
Why were the disciples afraid? What in your life makes you afraid? What do you do when you are overcome by fear? When Jesus healed the two men in Gadara, why did the people beg Jesus to leave their territory?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I seek to follow you and become your disciple. Teach me your ways so that I grow in knowledge of you. You are my shelter and I rest safely in your love. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those living in fear
Tomorrow’s Reading
