The 'fourth watch' last from 3:a.m. until 6:a.m. Night TIME is when God does SOME of His BEST work! When the lsraelites FACED the RED SEA, we read, 'All that night the Lord drove BACK the sea' (Exodus 14:21 NCV). During 'the middle WATCH ' of the night, Gideon DEFEATED the Midianites (Judges 7:19-24). Jesus rose from the dead before 'DAYBREAK' (Matthew 28:1). Matthew says: 'In the FOURTH WATCH of the NIGHT He came to THEM , walking on the sea. When the DISCIPLES saw Him... they were terrified... immediately Jesus spoke....' Take courage, it is l; do not be afraid" (Matthew 14:25-27NAS).

NOTICE TWO IMPORTANT THINGS:

1) JESUS WAITED until the storm was at its WORST and they'd LOST all HOPE. That's because GOD dictates the TIMETABLE for our DELIVERANCE, and He's NEVER LATE.

2) THE DISCIPLES DIDN'T RECOGNISE HIM UNTIL HE REVEALED HIMSELF TO THEM. Often the answer you NEED is right beside you, but you don't recognise it until God reveals it to you. On another occasion, 'When... the crowd was pushing in...[Jesus] climbed into the boat that was Simon's.... put out... from the shore... [And] using the boat for a pulpit.... taught the crowd' (Luke 5:1-3 TM). In that MOMENT it would have been TEMPTING for Peter to feel IMPORTANT, THINKING the Master needed his BOAT. No, God doesn't need anything we have to accomplish His PURPOSES not our credentials, talent, or resources. So be humble. And don't PANIC! When Jesus came to the disciples that night He was 'WALKING ON THE sea.' God is on TOP of the SITUATION. Be at PEACE; He will do whatever it TAKES to reach and RESCUE you. Your problem is just a PLATFORM DISPLAY His POWER to act on your behalf!
