DAY 3 OF 30

In the modern world, the ocean is a vacation spot—a place to relax and have fun. But during the times of the Bible, the sea had a negative connotation for the Jewish people.  In fact, the Hebrew word for water—"mayim"—comes from the root "mah", which means “chaos". This makes sense when you consider they grew up hearing that a flood wiped out the earth. Even today, despite the stunning views at the Sea of Galilee, there aren’t many houses or hotels right on the water.  

So why then did Jesus “insist” his disciples cross the Sea of Galilee during a storm? Jesus literally sent his followers into the chaos! But then, he came to help them by walking on top of the water—showing them that he is in total control of ALL chaos! I believe he was on top of the disciples' chaos then … and he’s on top of whatever chaos you’re facing today.  

Whatever turmoil or confusion you’re walking into today, remember that Jesus is in control of your chaos. And more than that, he’s calling you to get on top of the chaos with him. 

For reflection:

They saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. — John 6:19
