Hello dear friends,
A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. (Mark 4:37-39)
"There is never a day, there is never an hour, there is never a moment when you are outside the Lord's thoughts. As David said, "The Lord thinks upon me" (Psalm 40:17) You could say this as surely as David could. You are no less dear to His heart and the Lord is equally concerned for you.
Do not take the path of folly, for the Lord's heart goes with you wherever you go; and He grieves over you when you are turned aside. You may not be going in the opposite direction. You may even be on a road that lies quite parallel with the one the Lord would have you travel. But to be almost in the perfect will of God is to miss it completely.
As the Scripture says: "Other little boats were also with Him" -- but Jesus was in only one. Check your course. Chart is by His Word, and hold to it with rigid determination and do not be led aside by the other "little boats".
Be sure you are in the boat with the Lord if you hope to make it safe to shore in spite of the storms. For there will be storms; but you will be safe if you abide close with Jesus." (Come away my beloved ~ Frances J. Roberts)
