Love Looks up Isaiah 42:22
The disciples only saw the multitude, two fish and five loads of bread (Matthew 14:15-17). Jesus was God in the flesh. He prayed and fed 5000 men plus women and children (Matthew 14:19-21). When Jesus sent the disciples into the ship and into the face of the storm, all they could see was the wind and waves that could toss them to their death (Matthew 14:24) Jesus had never left their side and he was with them right there in the ship (Deuteronomy 31:28) ....but their faith was preoccupied with fear. Jesus stepped out into the sea to reassure them HE is always near. He never sends us where he is not there (Matthew 14:29-33).
