Matthew 8:23-27

23 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him.

24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep.

25 And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, Lord; we are perishing.”

26 And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?”

Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?”

Psalm 107

Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has redeemed from trouble

3 and gathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

Some went down to the sea in ships,

doing business on the great waters;

24 they saw the deeds of the Lord,

his wondrous works in the deep.

25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,

which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage melted away in their evil plight;

27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men

and were at their wits' end.

28 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

29 He made the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,

and he brought them to their desired haven.

31 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

The Disciples were forgiven to be the men who forgot Jesus not only showed them Life, but saved their lives.

Jesus slept from having another filled day in His Life. And Father God has walked with mankind all of mankind's life. Heaven has no Ocean.

To find God's Throne in Heaven...

Psalm 8:1
O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name 
in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!

You'd find the shining water and walk toward the water's source. Our Father God has decorated His Throne with Shining Water flowing from His Throne and going past the Trees of Life.

Psalm 96:6 

Splendor and majesty are before Him, 

Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

We wonder together - does the Water Shine in Heaven because of the Glory of God reflected on the Light and Living Water of the Sea of Galilee remembering this very day?

We would wonder together at Father God's Delight to have His Son return to Heaven and to have a new Heaven and a new earth. His Heaven shines with Light and Shining Water.  Splendor and majesty, strength and beauty in Jesus giving His Father a new Heaven and a new earth. Father God's Heaven would now reflect His Glory and Holiness. 


Psalm 24:10
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.

Hebrews 1:3-4
And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

Psalm 145:12
To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.

Luke 19

37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 

40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”

Abba, our Loving Father,

Jesus is our on going Blessing, renewing daily Your Mercy.

You have told us Jesus is Living Water. You control both wind and water.

The water goes wherever it pleases. We hear its sound, but we cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

The Spirit of God directs both wind and water. You know the sound, You have Spoken into life. You, Father God, direct where both wind and water come from and where it goes.

You receive our souls, we believe in the Name of Jesus. You gave us the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of Your Will.

We ask Your willing blessing on those we Love. We ask Your blessing upon the People You have given us. We ask Your blessing on our cares and concerns. We Bless You with Praise and Thanksgiving from sincere hearts for Your Blessings. You bless Abundantly.

Bless our Nation trusting in You. Bless the Nations trusting in You. Bless all of Your Children around the world looking and asking for more Heaven on earth. Your good and gracious Plan.

In Jesus Christ. Amen.

there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God"
