Is Jesus resting in your “boat”?
Or do you set out all alone,
Seeking new adventure
On a path you have not known...
Trusting you will stay afloat
And hoping you will be okay.
But undertow and currents
May be in an unknown way...
Causing you to get off course,
Not knowing how you can get back,
Facing perils much too great
Because of wisdom you had lack.
If the Lord is in your boat
You will not be in distress.
And you will not be all alone.
All your needs He will address.
Let Him steer your boat for you.
Then your journey will be right.
He will take you through safe waters,
Saving you from needless plight.
“When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat. And they were afraid (terrified). But Jesus said to them, It is I: be not afraid! (I AM; stop being frightened!) Then they were quite willing and glad for Him to come into the boat. And now the boat went at once to the land they had steered toward. (And immediately they reached the shore toward which they had been slowly making their way.)”
John 6:19-21 Amplified Bible
