Please Don't Ask

Luke 8:25 "Then he asked them, 'Where is your faith?'"

The disciples are in a boat on the Sea of Galilea and a storm develops. The disciples get scared and wake Jesus. He calms the storm and then asks them "Where is your faith?"

I hope Jesus never has to ask me this question. Maybe before he has to ask me, I should get in the habit of asking this of myself every day-"Jake where is your faith?" Sometimes I don't know. Honestly, many days my faith is in myself, my job, and my ability to take care of myself. That really is stupid though because storms do come and I can't control them. So, today I need to make sure my faith is not in me or in my boat, but instead entirely in Jesus.

Dear Jesus, help me keep my faith in you each day so you don't have to ask this question. Amen.
