Let Christ in the Boat!

Let Christ in the Boat!

When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.- John 6:16-21

When the disciples let Jesus into the boat they IMMEDIATELY got to their destination. They escaped the treacherous wind and the exhausting rowing they would have had to continue. Why don't we allow Christ to do that in our lives? It is either we don't let Christ in at all or we just let Him visit when we want Him to. Relying on and trusting in the Lord always turns out better than we could ever picture it. Just look at the case with the disciples. They invited Jesus in, they trusted Him, and they let Him be in control and the Lord took them where they needed to be. Let Him into your heart and your life and turn over the reigns to Him and you will see His greatness! He can calm the storm and he can get you where you need to and should be. So LET GO and LET GOD!!!
