Max Lucado tells the story about the time he was sailing with his son and a church friend of the coast of Miami. They were having a leisurely cruise and the weather was perfect. But out of nowhere a storm appeared. The sky darkened, the rained started and the ocean became violent. Max was terrified and looked at his friend Milt for help.

Milt was deliberate and decisive. He told the men exactly where to sit and gave them specific instructions. Last he said, "just hang on." They did what he said. Why? Because Milt was the only skilled sailor on board and knew exactly what to do in a storm. Until then Max could have boasted about his merit badge in sailing that he had received in the boyscouts. But, that was no comparison to a real storm on the high seas. He had no choice but to trust in Milt's directions. Their safety mattered to Milt and he guided them safely through the storm. (from Come Thirsty, Max Lucado)

None of us know everything there is to know about some things. We need others who are experienced and can give us the leadership we need when we face storms in our lives. This was also true for the disciples. They had to trust that Jesus would be with them and lead them into the future.
