Peter Sank
The family sat gathered around the kitchen table as mom read the devotional message for the day. It was the story of Peter walking on the water.
After mom finished reading and after they prayed together, one of the kids surprised his mom with these words. “Hey guys,” he said, addressing everyone in the family. “I know why Peter sank.”
His mother had a doubtful look in her eye but gestured for him to continue. “It’s simple,” he said. “Peter quit lookin’ at Jesus.”
Yes, that is what happened. Peter took his eyes off of the Lord and instead focused on the wind and the waves. That’s when he started going under.
On that day Mom did not teach the lesson. One of her children was the teacher.
Think About It:
That simple explanation is true, not only for Peter but also for you. When you take your eyes off of Jesus and look at your situation, you may find yourself sinking. Keep your focus where it belongs—on the Lord.
