P. 31
immediately He spoke with them and said to them, “Take courage;
it is I, do not be afraid.’” If I fail or struggle, the Lord will come to
me and He will let me know that it is Him. In fact, it was the very
wind of the storm that carried His voice. So, the first thing He wants
you to know is that He is there. The second thing He wants you to
know is that the storm is under His feet. He is in control.
If you fail again and say, “It’s not enough that You are there and
You are in control,” or, “Get in the boat and do a miracle.,” or “I
want to see a miracle,” I promise you that in your struggle, the Lord
will not forsake you. If you struggle at the oars He’ll come walking
by. He doesn’t want to get on the boat. He wants you to know that
it’s Him and that it is under control. If you still fail and say, “Get
on the boat,” He will not fail you. He will get on board and do a
wonderful miracle.
Some of you might be in a position where you said, “I failed. I
invited Him on board to do a miracle and He didn’t come. I asked
Him to heal my loved one. I needed a miracle and He didn’t come.
I didn’t want that person to die. I asked the Lord how come He
didn’t come on board and do a miracle. I didn’t want to lose my job
and I didn’t want to go bankrupt and I asked Him for a miracle.”
If you need it, He will always come on board and do a miracle. If
He didn’t come on board, you might have more faith than you think
you have. Maybe you didn’t need it. You went on without it. He
doesn’t want to come on board but if you need it to go on with Him,
He’ll come on board and do that miracle. So, perhaps you have more
faith than you think you have.
When He comes aboard, because it’s sight, He will do a miracle and
He’ll calm the storm and He’ll take you to your destination. He’ll
do one more thing; He’ll mildly rebuke you for your little faith
(Mark 6:52). Where is your faith? You didn’t learn the lesson of
the loaves. So, that’s the first story and now I want to wrap it up
with the second one. I can relate to Him on the mountain or I can
relate to Him going by and letting me know He is there and He has
