"Why are Ye Fearful, O Ye of Little Faith?"

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.”
(Matthew 8:26)

It’s not normal not to have fear, and it’s abnormal to always have fear. Worry leads to fear; but faith cast away fear. Matthew Henry wrote; “It intimates how pleasing it is to Christ, and of how much concern it is to ourselves, that we should live without carefulness. It is the repeated command of the Lord Jesus to his disciples, that they should not divide and pull in pieces their own minds with care about the world.” (The Bible Collections)

Jesus said; “25- Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6:25- 34)
