Sinking Fear
Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)
1 Kings 19:9, 11-13
Psalm 85:9-14
Romans 9:1-5
Matthew 14:22-33
How do we find God in the storms and struggles of our lives, in the trials we encounter in trying
to do His will?
God commands Elijah in today's First Reading to stand on the mountain and await His passing by.
And in the Gospel, Jesus makes the disciples set out across the waters to meet Him.
In each case, the Lord makes himself present amid frightening tumult - heavy winds and high
waves, fire and earthquakes.
Elijah hides his face. Perhaps he remembers Moses, who met God on the same mountain, also
amid fire, thunder, and smoke (see Deuteronomy 4:10-15; Exodus 19:17-19). God told Moses no
one could see His face and live, and He sheltered Moses in the hollow of a rock, as He shelters
Elijah in a cave (see Exodus 33:18-23).
The disciples, likewise, are too terrified to look on the face of God. Today's Gospel is a revelation
of Jesus' divine identity. Only God treads across the crest of the sea (see Job 9:8) and rules the
raging waters (see Psalm 89:9-10). And the words of assurance that Jesus speaks - "It is I" - are
those God used to identify himself to Moses (see Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 43:10).
Even Peter is too overcome by fear to imitate his Lord. His fears, Jesus tells him, are a sign of his
lack of faith. And so it often is with us. Our fears make us doubt, make it hard to see His glory
dwelling in our midst.
Yet, we should know, as we sing in today's psalm, that His salvation is near to those who hope in
Him. By faith we should know, as Paul asserts in today's Epistle, that we are heirs to the promises
made to His children, Israel.
We must trust that He whispers to us in the trials of our lives - that He who has called us to walk
along the way of His steps, will save us whenever we begin to sink.
