John 6:16-21 (NLT)

FROM TODAY'S READING...

"Like the disciples, we often find ourselves laboring hard, and making little progress. Yet Jesus is nearby, however strong the winds that buffet us. We need to recognize Him, and invite Him to become involved. We may not reach shore 'immediately.' But we will find strength to keep on."

Lawrence O. Richards (1931-2016)

The 365 Day Devotional Commentary


John‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭21‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) That evening Jesus’ disciples went down to the shore to wait for him. But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn’t come back, they got into the boat and headed across the lake toward Capernaum. Soon a gale swept down upon them, and the sea grew very rough. They had rowed three or four miles when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified, but he called out to them, “Don’t be afraid. I am here!” Then they were eager to let him in the boat, and immediately they arrived at their destination!
