SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Mark 6:45-51

⁴⁵ Immediately Jesus told his followers to get into the boat and go ahead of him to Bethsaida across the lake. He stayed there to send the people home. ⁴⁶ After sending them away, he went into the hills to pray.

⁴⁷ That night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and Jesus was alone on the land. ⁴⁸ He saw his followers struggling hard to row the boat, because the wind was blowing against them. Between three and six o’clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the water, and he wanted to walk past the boat. ⁴⁹ But when they saw him walking on the water, they thought he was a ghost and cried out. ⁵⁰ They all saw him and were afraid. But quickly Jesus spoke to them and said, “Have courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.” ⁵¹ Then he got into the boat with them, and the wind became calm. The followers were greatly amazed.

  Father, You gave first and foremost as you selflessly gave of Yourself through the person of Jesus Christ.
