Psalm 107
Give Thanks to the Lord

Give Thanks To The Lord (Psalm 107)
Tomorrow’s Gospel text will focus on a time when the disciples were gripped with mortal fear. They thought for sure they were going to drown in a storm. Think of a time when you were truly scared. Whether we are called upon to be involved in an environmental disaster, a violent attack, a near death experience or we have been with a loved one going through this, we know it is horrible. Sweaty palms, high pulse rate and wild imaginings.
The interesting thing is that Jesus was asleep in the boat with the disciples. He was there with them in the storm of life. When they woke him “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” He immediately calmed the storm with a word.
Jesus is in our boat. The storms of our lives are not out of his realm of influence or awareness. Let’s listen to the words today and thank God for his presence.
