Mark 6:48: He saw that they were in serious trouble, rowing hard against the wind and waves, about 3:00 in the morning.”—NLT
The Disciples are in one of the sudden storms on the Sea of Galilee. With muscles aching and morale waning, they fight the headwind. The harder they row, the more frustrated they become. Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000 is a distant memory. No one thinks to call on Jesus for another miracle. After all, He is not with them, but up on the mountain, spending time with His Father. In the midst of His quiet time, he sees their struggle and comes to them in the noise of their chaos.
But why does He seem to wait in the midst of our storms? He wants us to learn that His strength will sustain us. It is really He who waits for us. We find Him just before the dawn,. When we call on Him for help with our finances, families, or future—He is there with us, providing His answers and resources. The headwinds of life are no match for Him. Why? He allows us to fight the headwind because It is at this time that we reach out to Him. Only then do we realize that His answers and provision are never late.
Look to Jesus
And lean on his everlasting arms that lift you into his peaceful care.
