The boat of life..."who's on your boat?" I read today in Luke 8, the familiar story, the disciples are on a boat in a storm, fearing for their lives...they are quite certain, "their gonna die"...but The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. "Where is your faith?" he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him." Luke 8:24-25 The disciples had seen so much with Jesus...The disciples should have known that God would not allow the Messiah to perish in a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee. What? Do we think that the story of Jesus would end with Him drowning? Am I any different than the disciples?...shouldn't I know as well? I grow so weary of myself...can I get some encouragement here?...Just because you have a tough time in a tough circumstance doesn’t mean that you are walking in unbelief. Unbelief is when you ignore or reject a promise or command of God given to your situation. The disciples ask a good question: Who can this be? It can only be the Lord, Jehovah, who only has this power and authority: O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty like You, O Lord? Your faithfulness surrounds You. You rule the raging of the sea; when waves rise, You still them. (Psalm 89:8-9)
Thank You Lord for this reminder, keep me remembering this : "The boat cannot go down. Jesus is on board."
