"Walk Confidently Above the Storm..."
Matthew 14:28-31
New International Version
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith, he said, “why did you doubt?”
Remember the passage where Jesus walked upon the waters? When Peter saw Jesus, He said: “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water” (Matt. 14:28).
Jesus immediately gave the order, and Peter was able to walk upon the waters as well. The Bible says that soon a great storm suddenly appeared and when he saw it, Peter became fearful. He began to sink and Jesus had to extend His hand to save him. This passage demonstrates that when fear is allowed to enter the heart, it pushes out faith. The enemy will always try to break the rhythm of your communion with God in all areas.
If doubt or fear finds a space in your heart, fear will sever your faith and you will not see any miracles. But when the supernatural power of God intervenes, it tears them apart, restores order and faith in your life, giving you the victory.
So today, choose not to conform to the problems around you. Keep your sight firmly on the Lord, and walk confidently above the storm. Walk by faith, not by sight
