That Was Easy

Matthew 8:23-26
23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"

26He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

Worried. That's how I would have described myself at this point last week. Last week, I was deathly afraid of what was to come. Orientation was the next day and I knew no one at Midwestern University. I came before the Lord and asked Him to be with me constantly and faithfully. I asked that He would provide, in His time, a Christian group or even just a brother to walk with over the course of the next four years. My prayer was one of little faith - full of words and ideas along with a great deal of doubt.

The next day, the unexpected happened. In my orientation group was a guy from Wheaton College. Praise the Lord! Fast forward to this week. I had lunch with this guy and we spent a good hour talking about our testimonies - how in our times of weakness, God provided Himself to be loving and faithful. I thought that finding a brother on campus would be a daunting task. To God, it was easy. Pray boldly. Pray with faith.
