Matthew 14:22-33                              August 13th
Jesus tips his hand here by calming the storm and walking on the water. He is God. The disciples recognize that here. They bow down and worship. It is all one can do when in the presence of God. We might feel like the world, worship and life  has become disenchanted but this reading helps us to see things anew in the light of the incarnate presence of God…and to act accordingly. May the Spirit of God inspire a holy awe in the hearer so that he/she can tremble before the presence of God and delight in his gracious words to us.
