Life is meant to be lived on purpose. It is so easy to drift through, taking days as they come with no plan or overall direction. You will no doubt be familiar with the saying “If you don’t know where you are going any road will do.”
Jesus did not live in this way as he always seemed to know where he was headed. In today’s gospel, we read that he wanted to cross to the other side of the lake. He announced this to the disciples, got in the boat and went to sleep. What he did not tell the disciples that it would be an adventure getting there.
Where has Jesus directed your life to be lead? Where is your ‘other side of the lake?’ What about us as churches? We need God’s destination. When the storms break and the ship seems about to sink, we need the destination. We need to know that God is on our side to get there. More than that, Jesus is in the boat - so don’t panic!
