Day 157...(Judges 9,10; Proverbs 5; Mark 6)..."A Scary Night on the Lake"

The disciples are so much like us today. They want to believe but need constant convincing. Immediately (there is that word again) Jesus walked on water in the fourth watch. I believe this is about 3 A.M. His disciples were scared to death. Notice how this fear is related to not comprehending the miracles of the loaves and fish. Here is the passage...

"When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid." Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened."

Is God at work around us and we miss it? Are we afraid or courageous in the storm? What do you think?
