Daily Walk Through the New Testament May 29 Read Mark 6:45-7:13 Does anyone enjoy exams? In school, exams are necessary to reveal what we know and what we still need to learn. As followers of Christ, many test are given to us for the same reason. Jesus often gave His disciples “exams” to see whether they understood what He was teaching them. The disciples were slow learners. The Lord knew how short their memories were, so He arranged a test: He sent them into a storm. They didn’t do too well. The Lord is so merciful that even in our failures, He is still faithful. He was faithful to pray for the disciples while they were in the boat and He was on land. They were never really alone, and neither are we. He was faithful to come to them, right where they were. He walked on top of the troubled waters. What was over their heads was under His feet! He was faithful to calm their fears by calming the storm. He was faithful to step into their boat and patiently continue to develop and perfect their faith. There would be more tests, but in each one, Jesus would prove His faithfulness and grow their faith.
