Lord of All

"And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
 And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him."
         - St. Luke 8:24-25 


Dear Friends,

The disciples were afraid because of the raging storm. They felt that because Jesus was resting, asleep He was unaware or perhaps unconcerned about what they perceived as danger.  What they failed to understand or acknowledge during their time of panic is that as they called out to Him as Master, this very designation and title identified Him as the Lord of All. There was never a time when He was not in control.

He is Lord of All. He was there in the beginning. Remember, the Word. Let there be... The water, the air, the light, the darkness, everything was brought forth by the Word of God.  Surely the storm stopped raging at His command. Storms, winds and water recognize their Maker.

Where is your faith today? Focus on the One who made the wind and set your sails. Focus on the One who made the water and you will find yourself walking right over the troubles that threaten to make you sink.  The Lord of All is Ruler over all.  

 "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." -  Acts 17:18

 "But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour..." - Isaiah 43:1-3

Jesus is Lord of All.

in Christ,
