Thanksgiving is upon us. It is wonderful that we have a day set aside for thanksgiving to God. Yet, that thanksgiving is often cut short by Black Friday, a day dedicated to rushing to get what we do not have. We can find our selves with a similar struggle in our walk with God. We find ourselves thankful to God in one moment and then in the very next breath as the next trial or distraction comes we forget that thankful attitude. We fluctuate between thankfulness and complaining. If we are not intentional with our thanksgiving to God it will fizzle out and we will forget it. In Luke 17 Jesus calls us to a life of thanksgiving.

Storms come to all of us. It is at times like theses that faith is paradoxically most hard and most needed. Even though when the waves are crashing in around us and the winds are roaring against us, Matthew 14 reminds us that Jesus is not just Lord of the times of tranquility, but is Lord of the storm too. As we trust Him in faith as He reveals Himself in the storm in His way and His timing, we can find ourselves walking on water in the midst of it all.
