And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them. Mark 6:48
Going through the Scriptures we can understand, the time frame in the Bible has been divided into four parts, namely, the first, second, third and the fourth watch. Each watch has it’s own significance and also records of the major events that occurred during its own time. However in this post I want to share with you the importance of the FOURTH WATCH.
The Fourth Watch refers to the early morning time period. We can also call it as the “pre-Dawn to Dawn” time frame. During this time, the disciples were out in the sea, working hard for a big catch. Things weren’t in their favour, maybe they were not even thinking about their Master, but that’s when they saw JESUS walking on the waters.
Mary Magdalene ran to the tomb of Jesus on the third day, without being afraid of the darkness during the early morning time nor reproaches of people (that her intentions weren’t good). Normally no woman would wake up so early to visit a tomb; but this one did — to see her Master who had promised that He would rise up from the dead!! As promised, the Resurrected Jesus revealed Himself first to Mary Magdalene before anyone else.
God’s love should constrain us as well in such a way that we would also run after Him seeking His love. Such people won’t have any fear because the perfect love of Jesus will cast out every other fear. We should be people of the Fourth Watch desiring only to seek God. May God help us.
Be blessed 💕
Thank you so much for this sis. May we continue to seek after God relentlessly. 🙇

Praise God! 😇 Thank you so much 😊❤️ God bless you too😇💕❤️
Yes Amen to the 4th watch
And on the 4th day the Lord created the lights in the heavens for signs and for seasons and for days and for years.
To divide the day from the night and to be our guide in his might.
We were born for such a time as this now, The forth watch is our salvation at hand.
Genesis 14
Genesis 1:14-19
Amen 🙏😇❤️
I am only satisfied by God’s love. Recently I had a friend and I thought we were seeking God together because that’s all we talked about. But he dropped me without warning and I was devastated. Now I feel crippled in my search for God but I know that is not right. Why would I feel that way? What would lead me to such nonsense?
Joseph’s brothers rejected him and threw him into the pit for no fault of his. Though he was completely devastated yet he didn’t stop loving his brothers because his trust was only on God. They later realised their mistake.
Jesus came down to earth not only for the Jews but also for the whole mankind. Even though He was born into a Jewish family, still they didn’t understand and had to take all that nonsense against Him. They falsely accused Him and crucified Him. His own brothers wanted Him to get arrested.
Man in general cannot be trusted. He changes and shifts according to his needs. God Himself, in the Word says not to trust any man. If you feel devastated because that friend has left you, I would encourage you to hold on to the fact that man will change but God will never change.
🎶 I I have found a friend in Jesus, He’s everything to me
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
He’s the Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see
All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole
In sorrow He’s my comfort, in trouble He’s my stay
And He tells me every care on Him to roll
He’s the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star
He’s the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
He will never, never leave me nor yet forsake me here
While I live by faith and do His blessed will
There’s a wall of fire about me and I’ve nothing now to fear
With His manna He my hungry soul shall fill
