October 28

Imagine you are travelling on a long distance plane journey, and the announcement comes, "Welcome abroad our flight, this is Captain Jones, this is my first ever flight so let's hope that everything works out all right." Would you find it easy to rest and relax during the flight?
In this morning's passage we read about how Jesus and his disciples went on a boat in the Sea of Galilee and how, despite the storm which was surrounding them, Jesus was asleep. Jesus was able to sleep, not due to a callous almost suicidal indifference as was the case of Jonah, but simply because of His confidence in the power of God working through His ministry.
The promise of the Christian faith is not that we will never face storms and difficulties in our lives. It is certainly not that terrible things will never happen to us. It is simply that through all the difficult moments we can trust in the power of God at work in our lives, leading us to the fulfilment of his purposes.
