There are lots of stories about THE BOAT. You have heard them for sure. "You Have To Get Out of the Boat in Order to Walk on Water!" "Don't Rock the Boat" "Don't Stand Up In The Boat, You Will Tip Us Over!"
However, I had not thought of it this way! No matter what boat of trials or storms you are in, or whenever you are, we are in the same boat with ONE whom even the winds and the sea obey!
Matthew 8: 23-27. You know the story - Jesus was asleep in the boat and the "guys" were noticing that a storm was building. They all scared and started yelling. What did Jesus say? No, you read it and fill in the blank.
How have I been reading that over and over these last 42 years and not made that application. I love it!!! We need to sit and envision that whatever decision, or situation that has taken over and you are yelling at God about - who is in it with you. Be a boat, or a car, or your living room, or a courtroom; it doesn't matter. Jesus is in it to win it! Calm down! Sit down! Turn and see. . .Jesus is the ONE whom even the winds and the sea obey.
My other new favorite is - "I don't rock the boat like some say, I am working to balance it!" said by a local politician.
