Wednesday Mark 6:45-56
BIBLE PASSAGE
[Please do read the passage before (or after) reading the devotion.]
“Jesus made his disciples get into the boat… He saw (them) straining at the oars, because the wind was against them.” I am reminded again and again through Scripture and by experience that just because I am obedient to Jesus’ direction does not mean it will all be “smooth sailing.” There will be times of struggle for the obedient disciple. But that is no indication you (or Jesus) were wrong, or that He does not care for you, or that you just need to grit your teeth and “soldier” on by yourself. Jesus sees, cares, and comes to them in a most unique way – walking on water. It’s not about the miraculousness of the occurrence, but the uniqueness that is important. Look for Jesus to treat you as unique, and so too your circumstances, so that he gives a unique answer to that issue/problem. But more than that, he seeks to reveal himself to you in a truly unique way that draws you closer to him.
Prayer: I sometimes wonder, Lord Jesus, if it really is you who set me on this path. Why else is it so difficult? Am I in “rough water” because of my own stubbornness? But then I am reminded of the many times you met opposition even as you were obedient to your Father’s will; in fact, because you were obedient. Thank you for the reassurance that you see me in my trouble and agony. And thank you for uniquely revealing yourself to me to show your power, your love. May I treasure every experience of your salvation (saving/rescuing/delivering) that finally takes me to my (our) destination. Amen.
