"He Walks On The Stuff That Drowns Us"

John 6:16-21

The Message (MSG)

 ^16-21 ...They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless, but he reassured them, "It's me. It's all right. Don't be afraid." ...

As I was driving home from my Bible study the other day, I was listening to my favorite radio station, KLOVE. The DJ's were talking about Jesus walking on the water... and described that event in this simple, unique way:

"He walks on the stuff that drowns us."


That was a great visual for me. Jesus has authority over the "stuff" of life. Sometimes we have situations in our life that threaten to drown us.  We can feel overwhelmed by the tossing of the waves of our particular storms.  But Jesus is not affected by these storms. He simply walks over them because of His power. He wants to take our hand, and pull us up out of the waters of "stuff" that threaten to drown us and guide us through these storms, walking with Him, across the water.


Dear Heavenly Father, You are stronger than any "stuff" in our life. Thank You that You want to save us from drowning in those trials of life by inviting us to walk side by side with You.  Amen.
