Mk 6:51 "Immediately He spoke to them and said TAKE COURAGE IT IS I DO NOT BE AFRAID then He got into their boat and the wind(troubles)ceased" The important words are .... IMMEDIATELY... Jesus responds immediately when He hears our heartfelt cries of distress. Sometimes He may respond slowly,because He knows in His divine wisdom the best time for it,for after all timing is very important in life.He may respond late since He is in absolute control of our lives, but He will never allow our boat to sink.And sometimes He will provide the solution in a different way. After all God's 'way' is the best way always.But He will never allow our boat sink. TAKE COURAGE IT IS I DO NOT BE AFRAID...... Jesus is God almighty.When we surrender our life situations into His divine hands He will take care of everything. But we should have the courage to surrender. And once surrendered we should not worry or be anxious about it or else we will begin to be afraid. Here strong faith is necessary. Whatever be our impossible life situations we should have the courage of faith to firmly believe that God will turn the situation to our favour.Even the experienced fishermen-disciples in the boat trembled with fear because of the fierce storm that may kill them. In spite of their natural human fear they put their trust in Jesus.Therefore Jesus to reassure them got into the boat.Similarly Jesus is in our lives,in our families,in our work areas,in our tests,in our relationships and in our future.We can be aware of His presence only through prayer and reading the word of God.Fierce storms of life is bound to come for everyone - the good,the bad, and the ugly- but what is very important is whether Jesus is with us during those storms.If He is with us the boat never ever sinks but without Him troubles continue endlessly and the boat sinks. THE WIND CEASED....... Jesus is greater than the storm and hence the wind ceased.Jesus is greater than our difficulties and troubles which as humans we are unable to handle. The experience ,skills and talents of the disciples could not do anything.Their resources,their oars could not save them.Even their courage failed them and their faith bcame feeble.When we finally come to the last end of the rope and in the littleness of our faith that God jumps to action and rescues us.He wants us to be totally dependent on His almighty power and only then miracle takes place in our lives. Often human problems requires supernatural interventions.Jesus will ably take care of them in the appropriate time before the boat sinks.All this is for testing of your faith. People who come out miraculously out of such traumatic situations need to go and encourage others who are in troubles. This is a great mystery. God indeed loves us and hence these severe tests to further strenghten our faith. GOD WILL NEVER,NEVER LET THE BOAT TO SINK. I CAN PROMISE THAT,BECAUSE I MYSELF IS A GREAT WITNESS |
