Matthew 14:27-33 “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’. And immediately Jesus stretched forth His Hand and caught him, and said unto him, ‘O you of little faith, why did you doubt?’ And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.”
I believe Peter walked on the water! I don’t know how far he got, but it was far enough for Jesus to reach out, grab him, and then walk beside him back to the ship. If we want to SEE a miracle, we must have a problem BIGGER than we can handle. Peter did fine as he took the first steps…UNTIL he looked at the FACTS around him. The wind had created a fierce storm, yet Peter got out and began to walk on the water. The Bible says he looked at the wind…AND was afraid. It says the wind stopped when they returned to the ship. Jesus was always in control.
Let’s go forward this New Year by staying FOCUSED on JESUS, expecting miracles! He brings peace as we walk together. We might even discover we are “walking through a miracle” …just like Peter!
Isaiah 43:2 “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.”
Romans 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it.
May we sense HIS JOY as we eagerly anticipate a good year, walking hand in hand with Jesus.
