And straightway Jesus constrained his
disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while
he sent the multitudes away.....But the ship was now in the midst of the sea,
tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.-Matt 14:22,24.
Could this be for real?.How do we explain
this? We are certain "he constrained us to enter". Or
could it be why He withdrew because He knew what's ahead? Such and such could
be the thoughts of the disciples when the storm began.
It could seem ironic that one who has been created
by God, called by God and sent by God should have any obstruction in the
journey and not even by any other thing but by nature itself which is solely
the masterpiece of God, Himself, but it happened. If the story had ended there,
we could have a reason to worry. But, it didn't."And in the fourth watch of the
night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea"-v25.His power is
so majestic that He does not recognize our times. He is so awesome that He
defies nature. How pathetic it is that we are so limited in our imagination, otherwise,
we could have known that He can still catch up with us, no matter the distance
we have gone.
Has the waves (of challenges and
difficulties) gone so high and the winds (of trials and temptations), gone so
contrary that you are beginning to even deny yourself? Maybe, you just need to
endure for a little while, perhaps into the night, for He will surely come to
you. Child of God, brace up and wait for Your Maker, for you are the sheep of
His pasture and the apple of His eye. He will not allow you to be tempted
beyond what you can bear...It's time to look up and say, I know that my
Redeemer lives and even if worms should eat up my flesh, I know that I shall
yet see Him..Be of good cheer; it is Jesus..
