What about you?

-

There is still time to get into the boat or wherever Jesus maybe be traveling. Don’t hesitate or feel ridiculous, because following Him will never be as what “they” say or think.

As he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.
And a great storm developed on the sea so that the waves began to swamp the boat. But he was asleep.
So they came and woke him up saying, “Lord, save us! We are about to die!”
But he said to them, “Why are you cowardly, you people of little faith?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was dead calm.
And the men were amazed and said, “What sort of person is this? Even the winds and the sea obey him!” Matthew 8:23-27 (NET)

Yes, following Jesus will cause instances of panic  and wonderment as you learn to place not only trust in him, but your “whole” self in his direction. It is when we come to those spots of being overwhelmed, we learn another aspect of whom he is.

Even the winds and the sea obey him, now what about you?

Do not be discouraged. I am with you. Yes, I am working within you, despite what you don’t see or sense. I am with you. Drink-in the water I offer. Apply the balm of my peace to your restlessness.

Out of the Water

-
Later, when the boy was older, his mother brought him back to Pharaoh’s daughter, who adopted him as her own son. The princess named him Moses, for she explained, “I lifted him out of the water.” Exodus 2:10 (NLT) I have known you before your birth and blessed you with my name. I have drawn you up, out of the waters and into my presence. Walk with me. Lean into me so I can steady your way. I have places yet for you to be going; lives yet for you to reach.
