\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I was reading this morning, that well-known story of the disciples of Jesus caught in a storm as they rowed across the large lake of Galilee. It wasn\u2019t that they had deliberately gone out in bad weather, they had gone in obedience to their Master\u2019s instruction\u2026.He had told them to go, He knew very well what was going to happen on this trip, and He wanted them to learn another lesson of Himself. It wasn\u2019t that they were ignorant of the conditions on the Sea either, as they were seasoned sailors and fishermen.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After darkness had fallen, the wind suddenly got up and they found themselves battling against it as they rowed with all their might to get to the shelter of the other side. Then one of them saw a figure out on the water, seemingly walking on the waves. They cried out in fear, saying it must be a ghost and then they heard the voice of their Teacher saying , \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, it is I\u201d. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Peter, true to form, (he was always the first to speak) said, \u201cLord, if it is really You, tell me to come to You on the water!\u201d \u201cCome on then\u201d, Jesus replied, and Peter clambered out of the boat, and found that he was indeed able to walk on the top of the waves. He took a few steps towards Jesus, and then looked around at the boisterous waves. It was too much for his faith, and he became very frightened and began to sink. Jesus stretched out His hand and pulled him into the boat with Him, saying \u201cOh, you of little faith, shy did you doubt Me?\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The other disciples had been watching all this happen and then when Jesus and Peter were back in the boat, the wind had suddenly died down, and immediately they were miraculously where they were going to on the other side. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The disciples were amazed and speechless. \u201cTruly, You are the Son of God!\u201d they exclaimed. When they admitted this, they found they had reached their destination! What a wonderful picture for us when we go through troubles and trials\u2026.if we realise that God is with us in theses trials, so we will find the resolution to it all\u2026.maybe not straight away, but eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When God tells you to do something, He will be with you all the way and there is no need to be afraid\u2026. when He takes you to it, He will see you through it!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I was reading this morning, that well-known story of the disciples of Jesus caught in a storm as they rowed across the large lake of Galilee.
