"When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled" (Matt 14:26).It was gracious of the Lord to go to the troubled disciples to help them in their despair, though they did not expect it. In our spiritual life also the Lord comes to our help when we least expect it.
The disciples should have been delighted to see Jesus approaching them. However, they thought trouble was approaching and cried out in fear. Even today many children of God are in this state. When help approaches them in their fiery trials, they cry out in terror from lack of discernment.
Dear child of God, if your eyes were enlightened you would be able to appreciate, to your great comfort, that the many things you think are responsible for your problems and troubles, are in fact blessings in disguise; instead of crying out in fear, you would be able to shout in cheer. May the Lord open our spiritual eyes to see everything through the faith of the Son of God.
"Faith looks beyond the shadow
Of dread and doubt and fear
And finds the Saviour waiting
And always standing near."
- Late Pas T.U Thomas, in Morning Manna
