I was reading this passage and I was intrigued at the leadership principles that just jumped off the page.
There is a significant amount of references to the events of this passage which included Jesus being awakened and rebuking the wind with the words “Peace, be still”.
Those closest to him showed utter amazement when they said that “even the wind and the sea obey him. ”
Think about that.
What stuck with me was:
⁃ After they launched to go to the other side,
⁃ and After the crowds went away,
⁃ There were still other little boats that followed.
This is not the dignitary boat full of disciples and Jesus but other little boats.
We do not know much about them or how many there are but they are mentioned – which is not by happenstance.
This got me to thinking about all the “little boats” that are watching and following us a leaders because they just want to study us, emulate us, support us, or maybe hope to be a part of something great and impactful.
These are not the folks that leave at the end of the meeting or event and go home. They want to be a part of the “after meeting” conversations.
They just want to be amongst the group of leaders to just soak up the vision, just hear the discussions, or to just be in the room.
Now today, you may be the little ship to someone else trying to get that nugget of wisdom or that glimpse of glory – which is fine.
I also want to encourage us a leaders to recognize that we each have other little ships in our convoy.
They are not satisfied with just the “message for the masses” but they desire and need a word, insights and strategies for differentiation – a nugget from us.
Let’s ensure that we recognize and invest into them.
Be blessed.
Be a Blessing!
“On that [same] day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side [of the Sea of Galilee].”
So leaving the crowd, they took Him with them, just as He was, in the boat.
And other boats were with Him.”
