STAY FOCUSED AND YOU WILL RECEIVE!

“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 Lord’, he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him.” Matthew 14:29-31

We too have begun our journey of walking on the water toward Jesus.  We are trying to live our lives in troubled times that point us toward fear and doubt that try to make us sink at every turn.  Just like Peter, it is when we take our eyes away from Jesus, our source for strength, that we begin to sink and sink quickly.  When we begin to focus on the problems we are living through, we have no chance.  Our lives will eventually turn to disaster, and our Savior will not be able to help us.  However, when we ask Jesus to come in and give us the strength we need, to walk on the top of our problems, and we keep him in our sights at all times, we will not sink, instead, we will conquer.  Jesus is our source for all things.  He is our source of strength and understanding when our lives are prospering and he is our source for strength and understanding when our lives are not going well.  It is during good and bad times that we need to stay focused on Jesus.  We must pray, praise, believe and receive at all times. It is not necessary to put on a huge fanfare to get his attention all we must do is go to him and ask.  He is always there.  PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
