When the Disciples saw Him walking on the sea,they were troubled saying,
it is a ghost,And they cried out for fear,but immediately Jesus spoke to them
saying.BE OF GOOD CHEER,IT IS I;DO NOT BE AFRAID,SO HE SAID COME
and when Peter had came down out of the boat,He walked on the water to go to
Jesus,But He saw that the wind was boisterous,he was afraid,and was begining
to sink,He cried out saying Lord save me"[Matt14;22-30]
DEAR FRIENDS,
Peter began to sink because He took his eyes off Jesus,and focused on the waves
all around him,This was because his faith faltered,so what did Peter do but reach out to
Jesus,who was the only one that could save him;"You see Peter forgot to walk by faith
and not by sight[2Cor,5;7]
Now we may not be walking on water,but when our troubles surround us,if we focus on
them instead of placing our faith in Jesus,we will start to sink as well.
So Friends;when we are facing difficulties ,and troubles surrounds us,let us keep our eyes
on Jesus' Power rather than on our problems,also when we are apprehensive about our troubles,and if we doubt Christ's presence ,or His great ability to help,remember that He is the only one that can really help us[So let us continue to read this wonderful story in the Book of [MATT 14;22-23]Finally Friends let us WATCH,AND STAND FAST IN THE FAITH,BE BRAVE,BE STRONG,LET ALL THAT WE DO,BE DONE WITH LOVE[1Cor 16;13]Amen
A SONG
FAITH IS THE VICTORY
Encamped along the hills of light,ye christian soldiers rise,
And press the battle ere the night,shall veil the glowing skies,
Against the foe,in vales below Let all our strength be hurled
Faith is the victory ,we know,That overcomes the World.
chorus;Faith is the victory,Faith is the victory,
O glorious victory, that overcomes the world.
2]On every hand the foe we find,Drawn up in dread array;
Let tents of ease be left behind;And onward to the fray,
Salvation's helmet on each head,With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble 'neath our tread,And echo with our shout.
CHO;Faith is the victory [etc]
3]To him that overcomes the foe.White raiment shall be given;
Before the Angels he shall know his name confessed in heaven,
Then onward fron the hills of light,Our hearts with love aflame,
We'll vanquish all the host of night,In Jesus' conquering name.
Chorus;Faith is the victory[etc]John H Yates]
LET US ALWAYS KEEP OUR EYES ON THE LORD,HE NEVER TAKES HIS EYES OFF US,
HAVE A BLESSED DAY. |
