WHEN THE WAVES GET TOO HIGH

” SO, PETER WENT OVER THE SIDE OF THE BOAT AND WALKED ON THE WATER TOWARD JESUS. BUT, WHEN HE SAW THE STRONG WIND AND THE WAVES, HE WAS TERRIFIED AND BEGAN TO SINK. ‘SAVE ME’ HE SHOUTED. JESUS IMMEDIATLY REACHED OUT AND GRABBED HIM. ” YOU HAVE SO LITTLE FAITH” JESUS SAID. ”WHY DID YOU DOUBT ME?” “

Even Peter doubted Jesus when the waves got too large. In the beginning he was totally focused on Jesus and trusted him completely. But suddenly, he took his focus off of Jesus and began to focus on what was happening around him. When he did, he began to sink. I find myself doing this a lot. The Lord will tell me to do something, and I am very eager to do it, but if I take my focus off of Jesus my trust in him begins to waver. I begin to tell myself that I can’t do this. I begin to sink in all of the deep waters surrounding me. However, once I begin to focus on Jesus again and ask for his continued help, he is right there with his hand out. He never fails, he never wavers. He is always a steady force and is always there to help me no matter my circumstances. We can always depend on him. We must, however, be willing trust him. When we do, we are always successful. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
