EYES. . . . . Matthew 14:28 Peter was not
testing Jesus, something we are told not to do (Matthew 4:7). Instead he was the only one in the boat to
react in faith. His impulsive request
led him to experience a rather unusual demonstration of God’s power. Peter started to sink because he took his
eyes off Jesus and focused on the high waves around him. His faith wavered when he realized what he
was doing. We may not walk on water, but
we do walk through tough situations. If
we focus on the waves of difficult circumstances around us without looking to
Christ for help, we too may despair and sink.
To maintain your faith in the midst of difficult situations, keep your
eyes on Christ’s power rather than on your inadequacies.
