Recently during devotions I was reading the account of Jesus
being in the boat with his disciples. He lay asleep "in the
hinder part of the boat" while a "great tempest" arose. The
stormy winds were blasting and the sea became treacherous and was
filling up the boat. They all thought they were going to die.
They awoke Jesus and He arose and "rebuked the wind and said to
the waves, "Peace, be still," and there was a great calm.
 Later on we read that Jesus sent His disciples into the
boat, but he stayed behind and went into the mountain alone to
pray. In the middle of the night another great storm unleashed
upon the disciples, and Jesus saw them "toiling in the
rowing." 


Then Jesus came to them walking on the sea and went into the boat
and the "winds ceased." You see that was the second time Christ
manifested Himself, His glory to His men. Elijah is another story
of a "second time" visit. He was afraid, depressed and wanted to
die. But the Angel of the Lord, which is the pre-incarnate
Christ, visited him and gave him bread and a cruse of water.
 Afterwards, "the angel of the Lord came again the second
time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the
journey is too great for thee. And he arose, and did eat and
drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty
nights unto Horeb the mount of God."  


Is it not good and comforting to know that the angel of the Lord
came again the second time? We never come to the place where we
pass out of reach of the compassion of God. "His compassions fail
not they are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:22-23).There have been times for nearly all of us
when we have felt the truth of the angel's word: "The
Journey is too great for thee"; but have we not always found the
Bread of Life and Water of Life ready for our sustenance? And in
the strength of that food, we have gone on, and shall go on even
unto the mount of God. "David was the last one we would have
chosen to fight the giant, but he was chosen of God." ~Dwight L.
