Love this in Mark 6: 45-51
In this story we can see that Jesus wasn't in the boat with them in the storm sleeping. In this story Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him. He went up on a mountainside to pray. Who knows what he was praying about. Maybe he was praying about the very thing he was about to do, knowing that a storm was going to arise that his disciples were going to head into it. Maybe he was praying that they would remember what he did in the last storm. Everything we go through should increase our faith in remembrance of what Christ has done in each storm. When evening came , the boat was in the middle of the Lake, while Jesus was on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars because the wind and the waves were against them. Jesus set out to walk on the very storm that they were straining through. He climbed into the boat with them and the wind died down.... I just love this because no matter where we are, Jesus is aware of every single thing we are going to go through in this life. He walks on the very storms that we are afraid of. He climbs in with us. Sometimes the storms don't calm down, but he will certainly bring us the peace He promises that is unexplainable. I pray as we journey through this life, we will see Jesus in everything and he will increase our faith in him.
For His Glory
