(verses used will be out of King James version of The Holy Bible)
Hey everyone,
I hope that all is well :-) I feel like God has been pushing me to talk about this... My pastor was preaching about this in church also. In Matthew 14, Peter asked the Lord to make him walk on water to prove that it was him. Now, as long as Peter kept his faith and his focus on Jesus, he walked on water. However, when he started to focus on his circumstances and question the Lord, he began to sink. In Matthew 14:28-31 it ways, "And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boysterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt."
The verse above highlights the fact that we must keep our faith even if the wind is whipping around us. We must focus on our Lord and not doubt Him. He is there to catch us :-) This is not an easy task. But, Philippians 4:13 says that we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us :-) Every day a chance to get closer to Him.When you are sinking, we have to look, believe, and focus on Jesus. Focus on His promises. Focus on serving Him. I hope that this post has helped someone. I pray that God blesses someone through it.
Until Next Time...
