The verse that went along with my devotional this morning
was from Matthew 14:28-32. It’s the story of Peter walking on water to Jesus
and when he saw the wind he began to sink and cried out, “Lord, save me!” Jesus
reached out his hand and caught him, asking, “You of little faith, why did you
doubt?”
In past months I've
been like Peter, trusting God enough to walk on water until the wind began to
blow and then I start doubting. Are you really there God? Are you really going
to help me through this? And, just like with Peter, He always reaches out his
hand and saves me. Not usually at the time I would like for him too but in the
perfect time, in His time.
I’m so thankful for a God who already knows our tomorrow. A
God that already knows that our tomorrow holds doubt and fear yet He still
meets us in that tomorrow and is ready to save us. What about you? Does Peter’s
walk on water look like yours right now?
Remember (I have to remember), this life is full of problems but it’s
where we put our focus that will help us overcome. It's so easy to focus on Jesus and the things He has for us until doubt creeps in and clouds our view.
Where is your (my) focus? On
the problem or on the one who can instantly stop the wind? This is so much easier said than done but I pray that it be something I work on daily.
