Matthew 14: 22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
last night at about 3am I wake and see Jesus over me and He reaches down and pulls me up out of water... He tells me that I had been walking on water and I allowed myself to be distracted by the storm around me and I had been floundering in the water ever since...
we cannot reach our goal if we are not completely focused on God... the distractions of this world will cause us to be looking around and get afraid.. then we will begin to drown... I had my head above water but I was so tired of keeping it there.. instead of focusing on God and not fearing...
I am done being distracted.. I am done worrying about anything other than what God has said to me.. He is faithful and just.. He is true.. He keeps His promises..
