FAITH FINDS GOD
Today’s Gospel passage is about Jesus walking on the water. With darkness around, the rough sea roaring and the strong wind battering, the disciples were able to row the boat only about three or four miles with great difficulty to sail safely. They were so much gripped in their problems that they were not able to identify their master who came towards them walking on the water but were terrified. Recognising Jesus, Peter took courage to walk on the water but with the little faith he began to drown. With Jesus the boat and the disciples sailed safe on the shore.
In our life too when are faced with challenges, difficulties, anxieties, worries and problems we seem to strain ourselves in all ways to come out of the same forgetting the presence of the Master our Lord Jesus Christ in our lives. With Jesus burdens become light (Mt. 11: 30). We often forget this and toil hard to sail safe from all that bother us. Instead recognise the presence of the Lord and experience everyday miracles happening in our lives.
