Every so often a storm will come, and I’ll look up into the blackening sky and say, “God, a little light, please?”
Light came for the disciples. A figure came to them walking on the water. It wasn’t what they expected. They weren’t looking for Jesus to come walking on the water. And since Jesus came in a way they didn’t expect, they almost missed seeing the answer to their prayers.
Unless we look and listen closely, we risk making the same mistake. When the disciples saw Jesus in the middle of their stormy night, they called Him a ghost. (Matt. 14:26) An hallucination. We do the same.
When God comes, we doubters think all pain will flee. Life will be tranquil. No questions will remain. But it is through whispered promises He speaks: When you doubt, look around; I am closer than you think.
