Thought for the Day 15 November 2009Thought for the Day 17 November 2009
Our Lord, … when He commanded the winds and the sea, said “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?” [Matt. 8: 26] … Do at least as much as what the disciples did. They had but little faith, they feared, they had not any great confidence and peace, but at least they did not keep away from Christ. They did not sit still sullenly, but they came to Him. Alas, our very best state is not higher than the Apostles’ worst state. Our Lord blamed them as having little faith, because they cried out to Him. I wish we Christians of this day did as much as this.
