Who is in your boat? What waves distract you? Colossians 2:8

Good morning all! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!


Who is in your boat?  Who do you have confidence in?  Colossians 2:8 "Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ."


   How often and easily is our confidence shaken.  Who is in the boat with you.  The disciples were in the boat, Jesus was asleep and a storm with large waves came up.  What happened?  The disciples were afraid, they woke the master, Jesus, and what did Jesus do?  He calmed the waves.


  Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, Peter stepped out and walked on the water also, then what happened?  Peter noticed the waves, the water and began to sink.  What did Jesus do? He lifted Peter out of the water.


When you are in your boat are you letting the waves distract you and you take your eyes off Jesus?  To resist the false religion which roams the world we must use our minds, keep our eyes on Jesus Christ, and study God's word.


All sorts of temptations and distractions are out there.  Crazy schedules, up late, working long hours, then the  political scene, the world scene,  all of these "excuses" are tools satan uses to distract you, keep you away from the word of God.


When was the last time you had a really good prayer session with God, you Father in Heaven for 5 minutes?  3 minutes?  or even 1 minute?   When?  It is time, God is forever, the things of this world are temporal!  Whose boat are you in?  Do you know who is in your boat?  Food for thought. Love you all.


In Christ's Love and Grace
