Mark 4:40 He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"
Mark 4:41 And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Just because you find yourself afraid from time to time, or even multiple times a day, does not mean that you have little faith. It only means that your faith has room to grow. We may never reach the point of a true lack of fear while we live within this world. But if we keep seeking God diligently, we will get close. Do not let the world distract you from seeking God; seek God even in the most trying and in the busiest moments. We build our hope on nothing less. If our anchor is in God, it will hold, and it will never give way. David sought God above all else. A child seeks a loving parent above all else. Like a father comforts a son, God is always helping us to win our battles, and never wants us to lose our battle to the world. Bring your rock with you to put in a prominent space, to remind yourself that the seed grows when you seek God. These rocks, which David used to slay his Goliath, can be used to slay yours too. In a busy moment, they remind you to pray. They remind you that you are blessed. They are exactly the distraction that you need. God be with you, you who seek the will of God, as your seed grows. Thanks be to God! Amen.
