Can God Find Me Now?

Mark 6: 45-51 At once Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead of him to Bethsaida, on the other side of the lake, while he sent the crowd away. 46 After saying good-bye to the people, he went away to a hill to pray. 47 When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, while Jesus was alone on land. 48 He saw that his disciples were straining at the oars, because they were rowing against the wind; so sometime between three and six o'clock in the morning, he came to them, walking on the water. He was going to pass them by, t 49 but they saw him walking on the water. “It's a ghost!” they thought, and screamed. 50 They were all terrified when they saw him. Jesus spoke to them at once, “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don't be afraid!” 51 Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind died down. The disciples were completely amazed
When was the last time you found yourself in a dark difficult despair? Have you questioned if God really knew about your dilemma? Does He really know where I am in my pain and sorrow? Does God even care or realize how tough my ordeal has become? Is He really going to come to my rescue?

There never has been a time yet that God wasn't aware of your sorrow, your hurt and pain. The disciples had gotten into the boat and were heading to Bethsaida as Jesus had instructed. The Lord never promised us that when we take His instructions that we would live a trouble-free life.

The disciples were doing exactly what the Lord had told them yet they found themselves struggling to get to their destination. Jesus had climbed up the mountain to pray while sending them off to the next village for ministry.

It's interesting to me that while Jesus is being refreshed and is receiving fresh instructions for his next assignment; the Father makes his Son aware that his disciples are struggling in the dark with the wind on the lake.

Jesus knows how to find you in the dark. There is nothing that can hinder him from getting to you in your dark situation. Notice there was no Boston Whaler vessel with a 250 HP Evinrude motor, there was no Sea Doo jet ski, but Jesus still has the means to come to them at 4 AM walking on the water. He may never be early, but will never be late.

As Jesus moonwalks on the water, they were afraid thinking it was a ghost, but quickly Jesus assures them, "It is I, be not afraid." As they heard those words, their doubts settled down, He climbed into the boat and the winds died down. 

He is assuring them again that there will never be a place or a time that you will be out of my mind. There will never be a place that I don't know right where you are. You will never be in a dilemma that I can't solve, you will never be a situation that I'm to busy too handle for you.

Chill out friend, If He can speak the heavens and the earth into existence and create billions of stars into the heavens and name them all by name. If He can make Adam from the dust of the earth and create Eve from his rib, come on, just how difficult is it for him to find you in your dark dilemma? 

Smile, He knows right where you are and knows how to find you and fix your nightmare of life. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8) If He knows when you lose one hair out of your head. (Luke 12:7) He won't nod off or sleep through your next ordeal.
