D.L. Moody reflects on the experience of the disciples being constrained by Jesus to embark on a ship, emphasizing that even when following divine direction, one may encounter unexpected storms and challenges. He shares his personal struggles with feeling compelled to act, only to face failure and turmoil instead of the anticipated calm. Moody reassures that such experiences are not a sign of divine delusion but rather a part of God's greater purpose, teaching us that true rest can be found even amidst life's storms.
