35.That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”
36.Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.
37.A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
38.Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39.He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40.He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41.They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!
Having Jesus in our boat or life is the best decision that you could ever make.
Beloved brethren, I want us to mind one fact and that is, "Jesus is everything to us" and without Him we certainly can do nothing just like He told his disciples in John 15:3-5
Who are we without Christ? We are certainly nothing and can achieve nothing if Christ is not a part of our life. That's where we seem to miss it a times. "I'm not guilty of that because I gat Jesus in my boat" I can imagine that. But can you chew on this facts?
Do you remember that time you had to make hard or even a simple decision like what to eat for breakfast, the wife to marry, the clothes to wear to work etc. Did you involve God in it? Of course you didn't because you considered it not necessary.
I know that you would say that you mean no disrespect but that there are better things that you could involve or engage God in rather than minute things like the aforementioned. Having such perception is nothing but an indication to failure.
The truth be told that we need Jesus inn our lives day and night, seconds, minutes, hours and the entire days of our life.
Get this fact straight. In this Christian journey that we are embarking daily, we must come to the realization that there is nobody and nothing that can replace the place of Jesus in our our lives.
So today, you've got to do me a favour, do not fill your boat with irrelevant things so that there'l be space for Jesus to lay His head. Believe me you need Him more than you need me.
God bless you richly for engaging in my blog. Happy Sunday to y'all
