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 boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Matthew 14:28-30 KJV
Matthew 14:28-30 KJV
Everyone goes through things in life, everyone has had and will have problems. It's just a part of things we must endure while in this world. The past couple of months,it seems my family and I have been going through quite a bit. I will not go into details,because I'm not here for a pity party.
At first I questioned why these things were happening, and wondering what have I done wrong? This morning while praying, I was seeking the Lord, asking for answers about the problems I've been having, and He brought the above passage to my remembrance.
See Peter had problems, "he saw the wind boisterous". Peter did not notice or give place to these problems while he had his attention on the Lord. When he turned his attention from Jesus and gave it to his problems, he began to sink and his problems then became greater.
We have to keep our eyes upon Him! We have to trust Him! Then and only then will we see our problems for what they are, minuscule compared to a mighty God.
"On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand"
Bless you all,
Josh
