Good Friday morning F B family and friends, Welcome to Morning Devotions. EPHESIANS 4:1= I Therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called. This Mornings Devotional Title is A MAN WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE In todays reading from Matthew 8, the men who traveled with JESUS on a stormy night asked something that ought to make us sit up and take notice: What kind of man is this...? (V.27). We would do well to ponder that same question. Then well begin to see the big picture of who JESUS is. The Lord and His disciples were making their way across the Sea of Galilee to the region of the Gadarenes. Then a powerful storm hit--imagine a violent wind causing such turbulence that waves were covering the deck of their wooden boat (V.24). even the experienced seaman on board were certain that their death was imminent. But JESUS was sleeping. He was resting during a storm so Frightening that the writer chose the Greek word seismos to describe it. ( Our phrase seismic activety, which is used of earthquakes, comes from the same root,) What kind of man is this who can sleep while the boat heaves and pitches? The answer is, the one who created the seas and knows how a storm brews and what energy causes a wave to stay in motion. Thats the kind of man--a divine being cloaked in humanity, who rebuked the winds and sea so that they became perfectly calm. Scripture indicates that both the air and the water were instantly stilled. Such is the power of JESUS, the creator and Lord over the universe. All the Bible stories about Him add to the big picture that He is the only man worthy of Glory, honor, and praise ( DAN. 7:13-14; REV. 5:12). AMEN, As we give God the praise this morning for everything. When the storms of life, and the winds are boisterous, it is GOD who can calm the storms in our lives and bring things back to normal in our lives. Trust Him and prosper in the future.. remember all the prayer requests, and our troops who are in harms way. GOD BLESS everyone, and have a great day and be safe over the upcoming week-end. Thanks for reading..
