DAILY READINGS: Deut. 16; Song of Sol. 6:10 to 8:14; Luke 11:1-13
He said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.
And they launched forth. Luke 8:22b
They came to Him, and awoke Him, saying, Master, master, we
perish. Luke 8:24a
The disciples’ panic could have been avoided had they listened when
the Lord said, “Let us go over unto the other side.” He did not say
“Let us go to the bott om.” The Lord has promised to complete the
work He has begun in us. Let us trust Him to do that. Full faith brings
Him pleasure— feeble faith brings Him sorrow. —Milton Haack
He is greater than the thunder, He is mightier than the storm;
He extends His hand to lift me, And protect my soul from harm.
He will see me safe to harbor, To the haven of my rest,
Sheltered by the Rock of Ages, Held in His almighty arm.—R. W. Adams
