I don't know how you got in there. You might be in a path you felt was right, but suddenly there is a storm. All things don't just feel right. You wake up sometimes sad and you think, long--longer than the disciples expected. The disciples were not as bad as the Israelites at Sinai. They did not make any golden calf. They did not sin against the Lord. Rather, they felt in a circumstance like this, Jesus expected them to go to the other side of the lake and they started out to go. But not too long into that journey they experienced a storm
You see, storms don't always arise because you had sinned. You might have thought you heard God before you started out into what you are doing. You might have even heard him--though the storm might be have risen some doubts in your heart by now. Or maybe you did not hear clearly. You just felt it was a noble thing to do for the Lord. Whatever be the situation, But now you are in the midst of the storm. For a while you have done your best on the row. You have done all you know to do--fasting, praying, declaring the word, listening to or reading motivational materials, etc. they don't seem to be working. The situation seem to have turned all your wisdom to foolishness. Well friend, you are not alone
Yes. you are not alone. Just look up and see. Jesus is with you. He said he will not leave us nor forsake us. The disciples suddenly saw Jesus in the midst of their crisis (John 6:19, NLT) . That shall be your testimony in Jesus Name. Suddenly the Lord you are waiting for will appear. You don't need to give up. He can't let you drown in your crisis. He cares too much about you to allow that. You might have set out alone and now you realize how foolish it is not to wait and have the Lord on your boat. Well that is not the end of the road. Jesus is still with you.
The scriptures says in verse 21 (NLT) "Then they were eager to let him in the boat...." The storm has sure achieved a purpose. It has put eagerness in the heart of the disciples. Now your crisis must have sufficiently pummeled you till you are now desperate for God. Hallelujah! The good thing now is that all you now want is all of God. Nothing is satiates you any more. You know it is not by wisdom of men or intelligence. You are hanging on God and him alone. If he will not save, you are as good as dead. Yes that is the mindset needed for an explosive miracle--an accelerated miracle. Seeking God with that type of heart is what God referred to as seeking him with the whole of your heart (Jer. 29:13). With such mindset, you must find God. Then something spectacular happened
When they eagerly accepted Jesus into the boat (KJV says "they WILLINGLY received him into the ship"), A dramatic miracle happened. the storm did not just calm as they had expected and experienced at other times. Rather, they arrived at their destination! They recovered lost time. they reached safety. They achieved their purpose.
Friend, it does not matter how long you have been in the wrong. If you will willingly or EAGERLY accept Jesus into your boat leaving all for him, you shall recover. You shall reach safety. You are not too wrong for Christ to correct. You are not too bad for Him to repair. You are not too wounded to be healed. Just turn all your attention on Him. the very storm that buffets you is bearing the Lord to your boat. It is building an eagerness for the Lord in your heart. ALL THINGS ARE WORKING FOR YOUR GOOD--eHow did I get here?" You may look around and notice that all those you started with have gotten very far ahead of you. Not because you had not boat neither are you such a bad sailor; but the storm has inhibited your movement and now is threatening every aspect of your life. Well, cheer up. I have a News for you. Jesus is coming to you today. He's walking on the very storm that threatens you. the very waves that is your challenge is bringing Jesus to your boat
Once upon a time in John 6, Jesus' disciples felt they knew what Jesus would expect them to do and they did it. Jesus had just gone up the mountain to avoid being derailed from his mission into becoming a physical and political king. But he stayed there for a bit too the storm.
I believe someone is praying right now. You can just start telling Jesus that you surrender to Him. tell him nothing else matter. Tell him you know you are not too embattled to be saved. Jesus I trust in you! I'm not gonna drown in this storm. I might have moved out before time and without you. but you can right my wrong. If there is hope for a tree that is cut down such that at the scent of water it sprouts again, there is hope for me. though I am tried in the furnace, I am coming out as gold. The Lord is listening to your prayers friends, feel free to pour out our heart to the Lord. A prayer from a willing, eager and single heart can not go unheeded.
STAY CONNECTED TO GOD
