"And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!" (Matt. 8:23-27). Seems kinda strange that Jesus would ask "Why are you fearful?" Wasn't it obvious, the boat was covered with the waves? But Jesus didn't ask for information, He asked for contemplation. We can't let fear control our lives. Walk by faith not by fear.
