Today’s Reading: Matthew 8:18–27
(EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
(Matthew 8:27, KJV)
This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew: Instructions and Reassurance
A Thought for Today
As the storm raged, the disciples were filled with fear. When Jesus calmed the sea with a word, their fear turned into awe.
In the stillness that followed, a question remained.
What This Means for Us Today
The disciples had walked with Jesus, listened to Him, and seen His works — yet this moment caused them to ask who He truly was. Encountering Jesus often leads us deeper than answers and into reverence.
Jesus shows that He is not only a teacher or healer, but Lord over creation itself. His presence brings peace where chaos once ruled.
Carry This With You
Trust Jesus in the storms you face today.
He brings calm, even when fear feels close.
A Simple Prayer
God, help us to trust Jesus fully.
When storms arise,
remind us of His power and peace.
Amen.
Today’s Invitation
When worry or fear arises today, pause and remember who Jesus is, and invite Him to bring peace into that moment.
