And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" We stumble and struggle when we take our eyes off of Jesus and start looking at our problems and at our own selves. The solution? Keep your eyes on Jesus (Hebrews 12:2) and move forward like Peter did. Move forward in Christ, keeping your eyes on Him. Don't rely on yourself, on your own strength. But when we try to move forward with our eyes on ourselves, on our mistakes, our sin, or the troubles around us, we fall. So the key is to keep our eyes on Jesus. Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to keep my eyes on you at all times. Help me to keep my eyes on you, and remember what was done for me on the cross-- the finished work of Jesus Christ my Lord. Remind me that it's not about me and what I have or haven't done. It's about YOU and all that you have done. Forgive me for when I try to move on in my own strength, when I focus on myself and my struggles, and the troubles around me. Help me Lord to move forward with my eyes on You. Guide me and lead me Lord. In Jesus' precious name, amen.
