IS JESUS IN YOUR BOAT?
A fierce storm blew down onto the Sea of Galilee threatening to sink the boat with Jesus and His disciples aboard. Even the professional fishermen like Peter, James and John were afraid. Yet, Jesus remained asleep, untroubled by the storm. The disciples woke Jesus with shouts of “We’re going to drown!” Jesus raised up from His nap, rebuked the storm with a word and an immediate calm fell upon the sea. The disciples were amazed. Their fear of the storm outside the boat was replaced by fearful awe of the One inside the boat!
Having Jesus in your boat doesn’t mean that storms won’t come. But it does mean that you no longer have to fear them.
PRAYER: Dear Father, we thank You for the peace that we have in You when storms come. For Christ Jesus is our peace. He commands the storm to be still and it obeys. Help us to keep our eyes on Jesus, rather than life’s storms. In Jesus’ name, amen.
