JESUS CAME TO THEM

Matthew 14:24-25 NLT Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water.

Ever been in trouble trying to keep your head above water, fighting the waves and circumstances of life? We’ve probably all known times like that and you might even be in one of those times right now.😊

I was in a quiet back lane in Devon once, with the kids in the car on the homeward school run, when the car exhaust fell off and was dragging on the road making a terrible noise! I had no phone in those days and couldn’t drive on, so I prayed for help and it arrived in the shape of a very large, handsome young man in a truck, who came to us where we were. He tied the exhaust back on somehow and sent me safely on my way home but as I turned around to thank him he’d disappeared!

I want to encourage you because as we read on we see how Jesus came to them where they were, even at three in the morning! He wasn’t hindered by the storm or the heavy waves that were buffeting them. He walked on top of them in order to rescue them. In v.27 when He arrived He said, “Don’t be afraid, take courage, I’m here!”

Can I tell you, Jesus is right there with you in your circumstances, and He’s saying the same thing to you and me. In other words, whatever is happening Jesus comes to us where we are and He is more than enough to turn it round for our good, to bring us up and out, or through the other side of the things we’re dealing with. 

When we know God is in it with us, we can be sure of His help, His wisdom, and if it needs supernatural angelic beings, then He’ll give us those as well.😊 He hears our every cry and He comes to us saying to you and me, “Don’t be afraid,” Take courage, I’m here!” 

Thank You Lord, Amen.

Have a blessed weekend.😊x
