Mark 6:45 (ESV Strong's)
Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
Subject: God's Care
Jesus knew a storm was coming. But, Jesus sent the disciples into the storm. We must always remember that God knows where He is sending us. We need only trust that God is sending us and knows the storm He has plained for us. In the early chapters of Acts we see Peter and Silas locked away in prison. God didn't miss this situation on the agenda of the religious leaders of the day. God made sure that, in the midst of the storm and in the middle of the boat, that Jesus would show up to care for them. Christ always shows up. In the lives we live for Jesus we have to have the faith to remember that He never sends us where He hasn't planned to deliver us. The disciples, we're not expecting Jesus to walk on water. The Israelites were not expecting God to part the Red Sea either. Paul and Silas were not expecting an earthquake to deliver them from that prison cell, either. We should rest in the assurance that God will always come to our rescue; especially if it was He who sent us into the boat to begin with.
