| Much like Peter and the rest of Christ's followers taking the sea voyage to Bethsaida, Anglo-Saxondom (modern Israel ) has found herself threatened by the violent seas of world politics and intrigues on many occasions.
Although Anglo-Saxondom is nominally Christian, Christ is not at the helm. Mere man tries vainly to out-maneuver the waves. But human wisdom alone falls far short of the mark.
But Christ is always near. He has stilled the waves many times when the nation prays.
Alas, like Peter, when the fierceness of the storm increases and the billows foam about us, our faith is staggered. We lost sight of Christ and doubt His ability to save.
But, as we sink below the surface we will have to call "Lord, save me." It is then Jesus stretches forth His hand and says, "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" |
