Day 11: Matthew 8

Jesus is a rockstar now. When He finished the Sermon on the Mount, the scriptures say that the crowd was amazed at His teaching...and it was no small crowd. Thousands heard Jesus' teaching and their amazement caused them to follow Him to see what would happen next.

Today, we read about what happened next in Matthew 8. Read the scriptures and journal your thoughts.

If I had a crowd of thousands following me after a sermon, I'm not sure I'd even notice the people Jesus did in Matthew 8, much less stop to give them hope. Jesus did and He calls you and me to do the same. Look for the person or people in your life that need a shot of hope today.

Or, maybe you need to trust Jesus in the middle of a great personal storm.  In a word, Jesus made the waves and the wind cease...and He can do the same in your life.  But, there is a lesson He wants to teach you through your storm. Can you discover that today?
