Storms, JN. 6:16-20 (The Mirror Bible), “In the evening His disciples went down to the sea; they were hoping that Jesus would join them and waited until dark but then finally embarked the ship and proceeded to sail across to Capernaum. En-route a massive storm hit them with huge swells and strong winds. They were now about halfway across the six mile stretch of water, struggling with their oars against the wind and raging waters when they suddenly noticed Jesus coming towards them, walking on the stormy seas! They were horrified!

“He spoke to them and said, Here I am - you have no reason to fear!”

Many times when a storm of life comes at us, our first reaction is to fear. Why is that? Somehow, we’ve been trained by fear. Jesus says, “Here I Am; you have no reason to fear”!

Yes, there are legitimate things to fear, like a snake bite or rats or an oncoming train. But the fear of ‘what if’ or impending doom are not usually legitimate.

Once Jesus got in the boat, the storm was over and they reached their destination. Won’t you invite Jesus into your storms? You’ll watch the storm fade once He’s in the middle with you — or should I say once you’re in the middle with Him! That’s the fastest way to reach your destination.

Be a Blessing,

Sir Gregory
