Mark 6:47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,
John 6:21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
See the parallel.
Jesus instructed His disciples to go to the other side. Heavy winds were against the disciples preventing them from reaching their goal. When Jesus came on the scene, the winds died down and the boat was immediately at their destination.
Through the sacrifice of Jesus, the promises of God were made available to us. God instructs us to use our faith to obtain these promises. Delays, thoughts of doubt, and distractions are sent to prevent us from obtaining our promises. However, as we continue to look at Jesus and the finished works He’s made available for us, we not only will obtain the promises of God, but the more we focus on Him, there is the potential to expedite the promise entering our lives.
Let’s keep our mind focused on the finished works of Christ instead of the problem.
