Where Is Your Faith?

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? Luke 8:25a

You have faith. No matter who you are, no matter how little it may be, no matter how shaken it may become, every one of you has faith. The question isn't, "Why don't you have faith?" but rather, "Where are you placing your faith?" See, the primary power of faith is not in the quantity or quality of the faith, but in the object of the faith. Christ didn't ask the disciples why they didn't have faith because they did. Their problem lay in the fact that their faith was not where it should have been. They trusted the boat and their own experience (which, I might point out, was substantial--these men grew up on this sea and worked on it), but they failed to place their trust in the Savior until all else failed. Why? Why not go to Him FIRST? When we see a storm heading our way, we need to ask ourselves, "Where is my faith?" before the storm gets there. It'll save us alot of freaking out.
