We all know the stories about the disciples in the boat. But here is something that we may overlook, or might not catch. Luke 8:22, "Now it came to pass on a cerain day, that Jesus went into a ship with His disciples: and He said unto them, 'Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.' And they launced forth." Now we know what happens after this, a storm blows up, the boat is starting to sink. They go and get Jesus, and He rebuked the winds and waves. And He says to them in verse 25, "Where is your faith?" or I believe the account in Matthew says, "O ye of little faith." Now that is the story, and you might say that is to show that Christ had power over nature, which He did, but there is more. God orders the steps of the righteous, and if Jesus says that we are going, we are going to get there. In this story Jesus said that they WERE going to the other side, it didn't matter whether there was a storm or not. If God says it that settles it. All we need to do is have faith.
