Topic: Jesus Is At Work

Text:  "For they all saw him, and were troubled. And
immediately he talked with them, and saith unto
them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid"
(Mark 6:50).

When Jesus appeared to the disciples walking on
water, they didn’t initially recognize Him. They
thought He was a ghost! Instead of seeing Jesus
in the midst of them, they quickly assumed
something negative or even demonic was at
work, and they became afraid. Many times, we
look at our circumstances and instead of seeing
Jesus, we
assume negative things are happening and thus
we let go of our courage. Yet it’s when we can’t
see it that the power of God is most often
producing something supernatural. When the
disciples couldn’t see Jesus walking among
them, it was the very moment when He was
there doing something miraculous! He had to
remind them not to be fearful, but instead to “be
of good cheer.” That also means “have courage!”
Instead
of fearing that something other than Jesus was
at work, they needed to have courage that Jesus
was at work!
Whatever situations you are dealing with today,
don’t assume that just because it doesn’t appear
anything is happening that Jesus isn’t working a
miracle. Those are the very times we need to
have courage and keep our words and thoughts
in line with God. Instead of wrongly assuming
that nothing is happening, we need to be
confident that a miracle is in the making. Have
courage—Jesus is in your midst today!

PRAYER
Lord, I thank You that You are always with me and
working something miraculous on my behalf. I
have courage that even when I cannot see it,
supernatural things are happening and You are
there with me! Amen!
