If you’re like me you have problems every day, mostly small and insignificant but frustrated plans and upsets all the time. They are small things that go wrong. but with God’s help easily sorted. But that’s the point, He doesn’t say ‘This is Saturday, I’ll take a day off’ or ‘It’s Tuesday, I won’t be needed today.’ Every day He is with us.
In this Biblical story when Jesus was in the boat with His disciples a typical storm blows up. The disciples should have been used to these storms, they were quite frequent. Jesus was in the boat. Although He was resting they should have known were safe.
We never need to face our storms alone, for how can our finite minds cope with the storms of life? When we look at our problems we only see our part of the difficulty. We can ‘t see the whole picture ourselves. Only God knows the overall situation, we don’t have to figure it our ourselves.. God is only a prayer away. 24/7 He is with us, guiding, protecting, counselling, even when we forget to ask for His guidance. I sometimes have to say to Him ‘Thank You for the answer to the prayer i didn’t even get round to asking.’ Whether we are awake or asleep, He will help. God is with us in the boat.
