I love the question of King Solomon. Who can eat and who can have enjoyment without Him? The truth is no one! You can try every imaginable pleasure but it comes up empty on the other side if God has not gone there with you. That is why the disciples got in a boat and at the instruction of the Messiah went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. It was on the water that they encountered life changing experiences that transformed them on the journey of life. It was on the water that their faith was challenged and their victories sweet. Without the Savior they would have missed everything! They would just have a boat ride! Don’t ride the boat over the sea of life without making sure that the Savior is with you.

Every person you know is on the journey over the water to the other side. We are from the eternal and to the eternal we will return. The short time we have in this life is the sea we are riding over on our way to the “other side”. The question is where is the Savior in your life? Did you leave Him on the shore and depart on your own? That could be dangerous! Is He with you but asleep in the boat and perhaps uninvolved with your life? Have you included Him in the everyday dimensions of life? Or is He the captain of your ship, speaking His word to the storms of your life, calming the seas and guiding your boat to safety?

Today someone will cross your path that you will be able to ask this question? It may be you yourself! Or it may be someone God puts in your path! Be ready to share this simple expression of the gospel!

Have fun on the water! It's life and it is wonderful with Him! PB
