Today’s Thought “Romper Room and One Cookie” G. Ward

Matthew 8

²³ When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. ²⁴ And behold, a violent storm developed on the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 

 

Our Lord is known as the Exemplar Leader; for all He’d endeavor remains worthy to follow and whereas HIS dutiful response to Holy God witnessed a perfect submission, it would involve relentless attempts to portray HIS sufficiency to lead the lives of men. This endeavoring witnessed His deity, while embodying flesh (*Heb.4:15). Therefore, HE required rest and our theme unfolds Him taking a nap. Moreover, as we study the Truth of God’s Word, we’ll see on many occasions Him being instrumental in feedings of sorts and be assured HE didn’t have a local McDonald’s to adjourn towards; instead, these were meals involving natural foods (promoting healthy eating). Altogether, if mankind would follow their Creator (John 1:3), through proper rest and diet, theirs would experience greatest proficiency in every endeavor to make HIS Name great among men (Col.3:17).
