“But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea” (Matthew 14:24-25).
No matter the location or circumstances, Jesus will find you. This is the literal miracle here, but also the lesson that as we are tossed about by the storms of this life, nothing is able to hinder Jesus from coming to us. Learn to trust that the God of all creation can do what He has promised. Always be ready to have Jesus present in every circumstance. Receive Him, knowing He has already received you.
Lord, I do know that I am distracted by the noise of this world. When I need You most, I often do not feel that You are with me. You are, for that is what You promised. Give me eyes to see that You are always with me. Lead me according to Your goodness to recognize through the storms of this life that Your purpose will be fulfilled as You promised. Let not my heart be troubled; but grant that I always trust in You.
Lord Jesus, You come walking above all the storms of this life. You will take me by the hand though the tempest be all around me, and You will keep me from being overwhelmed by any storm that is raging around me. Grant that I may be comforted by the truth of Your presence today and every day. Guide me to know that in You I may have confidence. Lead me in the reliance You give to be faithful in this day You have given me. Amen.
