But when you look out you might see God isn&#039;t as concerned or afraid as you are. That&#039;s okay. Take heart. He is strong and with you, even when he&#039;s going on His walkabout.

No matter the amount of time spent following Him, there is more to see and more to learn. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark 6:48-52 ESV <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>48\u00a0<\/strong>He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,\u00a0<strong>49\u00a0<\/strong>but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost.\u00a0They cried out,\u00a0<strong>50\u00a0<\/strong>because they all saw him and were terrified.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately he spoke to them and said,\u00a0\u201cTake courage! It is I. Don\u2019t be afraid.\u201d\u00a0<strong>51\u00a0<\/strong>Then he climbed into the boat\u00a0with them, and the wind died down.\u00a0They were completely amazed,\u00a0<strong>52\u00a0<\/strong>for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Following Jesus and enjoying life are not opposite ends of the spectrum.
