Psalms 88, 91, 92
Gen. 47:1-26
The disciples had gone on ahead of Jesus. We do not know why, perhaps they had left him to pray and they were returning to their home port so that they could go to work. Jesus looked and saw that they were having difficulties. He came to their area. Was he just checking on them? They saw him and were scared. They did not recognize him. He spoke. They heard. Took him on board. All was well.
Note that they did not ask Jesus for help, he came of his own volition. All was well when they listened.
I think that currently I am at the stage of seeing Jesus in the distance but have not reached the haven. After months of tempestuous searching for a house we found one and it 'seemed right' to buy it. The house which we are buying is ok but the buying has not been without its problems and we are not in it yet. I am sure that all will be fine and the problems of location and kitchen will be resolved.
