Taking the Lord Into Our Boat

Taking the Lord Into Our Boat SCRIPTURE: John 6: 16 And when evening fell, His disciples went down to the sea, 17 And they got into a boat and began crossing the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And because a strong wind was blowing, the sea was churning. 19 Then, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they became frightened. 20 But He said to them, It is I. Do not be afraid. 21 Then they were willing to take Him into the boat; and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going. NOTEs: The churning of the sea signifies the troubles in human life. Jesus walking on the sea signifies that the Lord can overrule all the troubles of human life. He can walk on the troubling waves of human life, and all the troubles are under His feet. The disciples being "willing to take Him into the boat" [v. 21] shows us that we need to take the Lord into our "boat" (our married life, our family, our business, etc.) and enjoy peace with Him on the journey of human life. PRAYER: Lord, we open to You and we invite You to come into all of our relationships in school, work and family. We welcome You into our boat. Amen.
