Mark 6:45-56

The Greek language tells us the disciples were tortured in rowing. I know how that works. I have vast experience wearing myself to a nub while rowing against life. Sometimes it’s unavoidable, as storms do pop up. But sometimes it’s exceedingly avoidable. Jesus faithfully comes to us while we are expending every ounce of energy we have. In this passage He did something about the external storm. That’s more the exception than the rule; external storms tend to run their course. It’s the internal storms that concern me, and Jesus specializes in those. May you and I learn to take our raw hands off the oars, let Jesus climb into our rocking vessel, and do what only He can do.
