Mark 4:36-38 GNB. So they left the crowd; the disciples got into the boat in which Jesus was already sitting, and they took him with them. Other boats were there too. Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the waves began to spill over into the boat, so that it was about to fill with water. Jesus was in the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”
Jesus Christ had just finished teaching the people on the parables of the sower with his seed and the mustard seed by the seaside and in a boat. When evening was approaching, he boarded one of the boats to cross over to the other side of the sea with his disciples. Because be was exhausted, he slept off on the way resting. In the middle of the journey, they began to encounter turbulent storm and wind which affected their boat, trying to submerge it. The situation was very terrifying as it was beyond what the disciples could manage. So they had to wake him from his sleep to alert him of the impending danger, seeking his intervention. “Suddenly a strong wind blew up, and the waves began to spill over into the boat, so that it was about to fill with water. Jesus was in the back of the boat, sleeping with his head on a pillow. The disciples woke him up and said, “Teacher, don’t you care that we are about to die?”” Mark 4:37-38..
When the master awoke, all he did was to rebuke the forces behind the storm and everywhere became calm suddenly. One of the reasons many get overwhelmed and sometimes get destroyed by negative situations they encounter in the journey of life is because they travel or undertake such crucial journey with the wrong company. Others believe in themselves to the extent that they feel that they don’t need Jesus the master to be with them. They have a know it all mentality because of their exposure in life and what they think they know. By the time their human inadequacies becomes very glaring to them, some of them feel ashamed to ask for help from him who doesn’t count on the errors of men because of his love for mankind. “Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me, because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me. And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.” John 6:37.
Today we need to understand that life is a very important journey that we can’t afford to toy with. We all have one life to live and must not take anything for granted. We have to take full or best advantage of every help available in Jesus that will secure our journey beyond what ordinary eyes can see. You must therefore realise as an individual today that you need Jesus as a life companion and partner to weather some destructive storms that may come your way in this life. You must note that there are situations that goes beyond or out of human control. At that point men that have Jesus in their lives as back up always fall back on him for help because every creature and powers, seen and unseen obeys him. Your relationship with him in this life gurrantees you unhindered access to his ever present help in times of need. “Let the giving of thanks be your sacrifice to God, and give the Almighty all that you promised. Call to me when trouble comes; I will save you, and you will praise me.”” Psalms 50:14-25.
Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for being a loving and caring saviour. Thank you because no one journeying with you gets stranded or disappointed. I therefore ask you to be my life companion till everlasting victory. Thank you for being there for me in times need in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
