A Ride with my saviour!


I've never driven my motorcycle as far as I have today. Together with my senior Pastor, I explored the tourist spots of the province of Zambales. We didn't ride just for fun, but we looked for a good place to fit our church retreat on December. Of course, as pastors and people who trust God, we prayed before we left Olongapo. The sun was on its height on our way to the retreat places, but when we were already heading home, the rain started to fall. driving will always be dangerous when the road is slippery and so I felt a little nervous when the rain started to soak my jacket. As I was driving, a thought crossed my mind. I remembered Jesus' experience with His disciples while they were facing not only an ordinary rainfall but a wild storm. His disciples probably felt so nervous while strong winds were pushing and pulling their boat. But Jesus, in His capacity as a God, felt the doubting hearts of His disciples which made Him wake up and stand before them. He asked them, "Where is your faith?". I guess, if Jesus was riding with me in my motorcycle He would have asked me the same question.
