The Reformed Doctrine of Keeping It Cool, Part 2

Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?

Matthew 8:26

The quickest way to test if we are doubting God is to ask ourselves, “Am I afraid?” The disciples were thrown into a panic by the storm. But Jesus, after rebuking them with his question, coolly calms the storm with a word.

What are we afraid of? Is not our Lord the God of waves and winds and storms and seasons? He governs all. He’s never worried, never scared. Therefore let us rest in the sweet care of our Heavenly Father even in the midst of the storm. He takes more thought for every moment of our lives than all of us have ever taken for ourselves combined.
