Joshua 18:1-19:51; Isaiah 13:1-22; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-18
He made His disciples get into the boat … the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land … He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them … He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. Mark 6:45-51 NKJV
Sometimes it is the will of God that we “get into the boat,” even when the winds of circumstance are contrary. We may be rowing against the tide, but be assured that the Lord not only sees our struggle, but He is ready to come to our aid, get into the boat with us, and calm the storm in His perfect time. —Elizabeth C. Bishop
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay. —Edward Mote
