What do you do when you are in the middle of it . . . when trouble hits you smack in the face and there is no avoiding it? You feel like you are fighting things all by yourself and no one could ever understand.
Yet God does and He is right here!
Yes we may be fearful. God gives us courage to face it. This is when we get out of the boat and walk by faith . . . right on top of the water! The key is to stay focused upon Jesus and His plans and not the depth of the water (the trouble). Faith in God is all we need . . . not faith in our own abilities or resources. Oh, do not forget to praise God throughout. Thank Him for the little things . . . simply that He is present and He cares!
So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” (Matthew 14:29-30)
As with the disciples in the boat, Jesus wants us to know He is all we need . . . in the middle of it!
