“On that day Jesus had gone out of the house and was sitting by the sea. And large crowds gathered to Him, so He got into a boat and sat down, and the whole crowd was standing on the beach” (Matthew 13:1-2).
Jesus is practical. All things were created through Him, so of course He knows physics and how things work. He’s in the boat and they are on the shore. It’s a natural amphitheater. Our Lord will use current situations and circumstances for His word to go forth. Be a part of what the Lord is doing and know that You also may be called upon to be His voice speaking the words of truth.
Lord, You always seem so natural when You do things. You just sit in a boat and start talking to thousands. You and the Father are One and in that mystery, I think of myself as one in the crowd and would never be one to speak. But You have given me the words of eternal life. How can I stand by and watch as the multitudes go hungry for the lack of the eternal sustenance that You give?
Lord Jesus, You have called for me to follow You. No matter where I am, or what I am doing, give me Your word to speak. Holy Spirit, bring to remembrance everything I need to know so that I may speak Your words when needed. In all things, Lord, grant that I would be faithful to use every situation and act in all circumstances to be faithful to the call of grace You have given me. Lead me to be a child of the Heavenly Father. Amen.
