John 6:15-21 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
As I was grappling with the Holy Spirit last night regarding some unfamiliar waters in which I find myself, He led me to this passage in John. He reminded me He has control over my unfamiliar waters, asked me to recognize him in them, and showed me not to fear. He challenged me to willingly accept him into my life's boat tossed about in the waters for the purpose of arriving in the place He wishes me to go. Praise God!
What waters do you find yourself in today? Will you willingly let Jesus into your vessel? He has a destination for you! Life and it's storms are not random.
