FAITH;JESUS WALKS ON WATER'
- - -
READ : ... ( Matthew 14: 22-33 ).
"After he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by
himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat by
this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the
wind was against them. And in the fourth watch of the night he came to
them, walking on the sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the
sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a spirit!" and they cried out
in fear.
( Matthew 14:27 ) But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying,Be of
good cheer; it is I;be not afraid

Why is it that problems always seem bigger in the middle of the night ?
In the hours between the days, our fears loom larger and burdens grow
heavier.
It was in the morning when the disciples fought the storm on the Sea of
Galilee.
In ( Matthew 14 ) we hear about how their imaginations whipped around
like a wild wind. And just when the storm was taking them under for the
last time, Jesus' walked by ?"on the water! Crazy! Just look at their
response.
"And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the
sea. But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were
terrified, and said, "It is a spirit!" and they cried out in fear. But
immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I " be
not afraid."
Why do you doubt ? He asked him. I'm right here. We painfully identify
with the disciples' fear. When we're out here on our own, our hearts
become filled with fear.
Overwhelmed by circumstances, we forget who You are - You're God -
You're in control!

The Christian life is a life of faith.
In faith you can say, God has made some promises and I believe Him. I
don't always understand His ways, but I trust Him. He's in charge!
God has given you some assurances so that you can walk by faith while
you're waiting for Him to work. Living by faith and holding onto God's
promises gives stability and strength to life.
3:15 but in your hearts reverence Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and reverence; |
