LIGHT FOR THE WAY
(Daily Devotional)

"In the fourth watch He came to them"(Matthew 24:25)

GOD WILL COME THROUGH FOR YOU

The fourth watch last from 3:00am till 6:00am. The night time is when God does some of His best works! When the Israelites faced the red sea, we read, "All that night the Lord drove back the sea'(Exo 14:21). During 'the middle watch' of the night, Gideon defeated the Midianites (Judges 7:19-24). Jesus rose from the dead before day break(Matthew 28:1). Matthew says ' In the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him...they were terrified...immediately Jesus spoke...'Take courage, it is I ; do not be afraid (Matthew14:25-27). Notice two important things:
1) Jesus waited until the storm was at it worst and they all lost hope. That's because God dictates the timetable for your deliverance, and He is never too late.
2)The disciple didn't recognise Him until He revealed Himself to them. Often the answer you need is right beside you, but you dont recognise it until God reveals it to you.
On another occasion, 'when...the crowd was pushing in...(Jesus) climb into the boat that was Simon's..put out from the shore...(and) using the boat for pulpit...taught the crowd'(Luk5:1-3). In that moment it would have been tempting for peter to feel important, thinking the master needed his boat. No, God doesn't need anything we have to accomplish His purposes not our credentials, talents and resources. So be humble. And dont panic! when Jesus came to the disciples that night He was walking on the sea'. God is on top of the situation. Be at peace; He will do whatever it takes to reach and rescue you. Your problem is just a platform to display His power yo act on your behalf!

Prayer Point
Father, thank you because you have not left me to my problems. Let your power come through for me in Jesus name
