Matthew 14:27 27But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying,
“Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
Are you going through a dark, difficult moment in your life?
Perhaps the storm just rages on with no let-up and you are
trembling in fear. You feel that any time now, you may just
cave in and go under because you cannot beat this storm.
Be comforted that Jesus sees what you are going through and
He always comes to where you are in your darkest hour. He did
that for His disciples one stormy night on the Sea of Galilee.
Jesus came, walking on the stormy waters, walking on top of
the problem that was threatening to overwhelm them. He is
indeed the King and Lord over the storms!
When your eyes are on Christ, even though the storms are
raging and the winds are blowing, you will know that you are
above your troubles and circumstances. When people ask you how
you are doing under the circumstances, tell them, “I am not
under the circumstances. I am on top of them because
my God is above all!”
Don’t be fearful. He will come to you walking on the stormy
waters. Hear His comforting voice telling you, “Be of good
cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
And as you behold Jesus, you become like Him. You will find
yourself doing things you did not know you could do. You will,
like Peter, walk on water. This happens when you are occupied
with the person of Jesus, with His resources, love, wisdom,
ability, power and majesty.
My friend, even during the times when you take your eyes off
Jesus, He never takes His eyes off you. And when you cry out
to Him, He will immediately stretch out His hand to catch hold
of you. You will not go under.
There may be times that you are not able to find your way
back. Jesus will then hold your hand and walk you back to the
boat. And like Peter, you will realize that with your hand in
His, the storm will come to a standstill!
