I Am Here!
That night, the boat was still in the middle of the lake.
Jesus was alone on the land. Jesus saw the boat far away on
the lake. He saw the followers working hard to row the boat.
The wind was blowing against them. Sometime between three and
six o'clock in the morning, Jesus went to the boat. Jesus was
walking on the water. Jesus continued walking until he was
almost past the boat. But the followers saw Jesus walking on
the water. They thought he was a ghost. The followers shouted
with fear. All the followers saw Jesus and were very afraid.
But Jesus spoke to the followers and said, "Don't worry! It's
me! Don't be afraid."
-- Mark 6:47-50 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
Where do you most fear being abandoned? Jesus will be there! That's the
message here. In the middle of the storm -- in a familiar place in a
storm with people you know and love and yet feel so helpless and alone
-- Jesus will meet you. If you will call out to him and trust his
desire to come to you and to help you, you will see him there. Don't
fear the storm! Don't be disconsolate because of the fear in the eyes
of those around you. Jesus will meet you in the storm and keep you
safe.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Abba Father, help me believe that I will never be abandoned or left
alone -- not even in my worst and most fearful times. In Jesus' name I
ask for this faith. Amen.
