When you read the early chapters of Matthew, you read of some of the miracles that the LORD Jesus performed. He healed the sick, the blind and the lame. He fed five thousand men with five loaves and two fish.
Now in these verses, Jesus is walking on the water to get to His disciples. Peter calls out to Him and and He invites Peter to walk towards Him.
Peter gets out of the boat and onto the water and begins to walk towards Jesus. Realizing that he is now on top of the water, Peter begins to sink.
Why?
The simple answer is that Peter took his eyes off Jesus and looked down at the water.
Are we not doing the same thing, day after day?
We look at the water around us and we take our eyes off Jesus.
If we want to grow in faith, we need to keep our eyes on Jesus. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
When we trust in Jesus only, not in our own ability, we have true faith.
Prayer: ABBA FATHER, I humbly pray that I keep my eyes on Jesus only. Let me not lean on my own understanding but keep my faith in YOU, and my Redeemer Jesus and the Holy Spirit only. I humbly pray this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Stay faithfully Jesus Blessed today!
