Beyond Us | Week 3 | Where You Think You Are Headed… Is Not the Final Destination
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away. After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray. When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land. Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He *came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them. But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.” Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, or they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened. When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, and ran about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was. Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured. Mark 6:45-56 NASB 1995

Even though you are in the middle of the sea and Jesus is over on the other side.. BUT He still sees you… He’s always watching us… He sees us even when when we don’t see Him!
You can’t drift too far from Him! Don’t think he’s forgotten about you! Your circumstances are not too great for Him, your financial struggle, the size of your storm doesn’t matter to him, neither does the size of your boat. The storm is part of His creation and He has a plan to get you to a new place! We must only trust in Him!

But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and *said to them, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.” . Mark 6:49-50 NASB 1995
The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Genesis 1:2 NASB 1995
Jesus has victory over the brokenness, limitations, and expectations of a secular, fallen world.
These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 NASB 1995
Take courage it is I do not be afraid!!! Moments like these are designed for us to trust God in circumstances that seem impossible to us.
Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished, or they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened. . Mark 6:51-52 NASB 1995
We get so caught up in the Legalism and traditions of things that we then leave no room for the creativity of The Holy Spirit to do a new work in us. We work hard to keep our money or have plans to spend it before we even get it.
