1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit
and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going
out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my
tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind
and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too
wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from
your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the
heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a]
you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings
of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand
will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say,
"Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around
me,"
12 even the darkness
will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my
inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because
I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
- Rev. Mark Goble
4 Then the LORD sent a
great wind on the sea, and such a violent storm arose that the ship threatened
to break up. 5 All the sailors
were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into
the sea to lighten the ship.
But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay
down and fell into a deep sleep. 6
The captain went to him and said, "How can you sleep? Get up and call on
your god! Maybe he will take notice of us, and we will not perish."
7 Then the sailors said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots to find out who is responsible for this calamity." They cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.
8 So they asked him, "Tell us, who is responsible for making all this trouble for us? What do you do? Where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?"
9 He answered, "I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land."
10 This terrified them and they asked, "What have you done?" (They knew he was running away from the LORD, because he had already told them so.)
11 The sea was getting rougher and rougher. So they asked him, "What should we do to you to make the sea calm down for us?"
12 "Pick me up and throw me into the sea," he replied, "and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you."
13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. 14 Then they cried to the LORD, "O LORD, please do not let us die for taking this man's life. Do not hold us accountable for killing an innocent man, for you, O LORD, have done as you pleased." 15 Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. 16 At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him
Holy Gospel: Matthew 8:23-27 (NIV)
- Rev.
Mark Goble
Jesus Calms the Storm
23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
26[Jesus] replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"
