I have long loved that detail–and have “experienced” it so often, and want to experience it more, again and again.
There have been times when I have been stuck in writing, or business or in a relationship and all is dark, murky and hopeless and “I cry out to the Lord in my distress” and immediately see a way out of the business morass, or the stagnant or stuck writing, or the relationship going wrong.
I don’t think Jesus will always allow our boats to immediately reach shore when we call out to him–because we do need to develop our characters–but he often does!!

I’ve never noticed that bit before; the apparently miraculous arrival. The detail is quite interesting and I was trying to figure out where the boat might have left from.

Sometimes we, who are his children, still fail to recognize God’s presence in our most difficult situations. Even in our daily, common interactions, we fail to see the workings of God. My prayer is for God to open our eyes in every situation, relationship, and activity throughout the day.
