A favorite Bible story from childhood days is the one in John 6 where Jesus walked on the water to His disciples in a boat during a violent windstorm. It makes me so thankful that Jesus is in the “boat” of my life. Is Jesus in your “boat”?
John 6:16-21
16 Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, 17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. 20 But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
“Peace doesn’t come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.” ~ John Ortberg
The Lord bless you and keep you…
