God Will Rescue YouSampel

One of the most unforgettable encounters the disciples had with Jesus was when He came to them during a storm. The waves were buffeting their little boat, and they were fearing for their lives when Jesus appeared walking on the water. He called out to Peter to come to Him. But, as soon as Peter climbed out of the boat, he started sinking.

When Peter called out for help, Jesus reached out to save him. We read, “Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?’” (Matthew 14:31). 

Even though Peter had seen the authority of God up close and personal, he wavered. He decided to focus more on the problem than on the face of Jesus. 

The difference between great faith and little faith is the object of your focus. If you look at Jesus, and Him alone, your faith will be great. If you look at your circumstances, it will be small. Where you choose to focus will determine your faith. Never focus on the storm. Always look at the One who holds the power over the storm. 

Is your focus on the storm, or is your focus on Jesus?
