JESUS WALKS ON THE WATER:-( Matthew 14:- 22-33). After feeding the five thousand people, Jesus told his disciples to go to the other side ahead of him. He was left behind dismissing the cloud. He later went to the mountain side to pray. The boat and the disciples was now a considerable distance and being buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. At that time Jesus appeared to them walking on water. When the disciples saw him, they were afraid for they thought he was a ghost. Jesus told them not to be afraid . Then Simon Peter told him " If it is you Lord tell me to come to you on water" . Jesus told him to come to him. Simon Peter came out of the boat and walked towards Jesus , any when he was almost near Jesus, he saw the waves and he started to sink. Peter then cried to the Lord saying " Lord save me. Jesus reached out his hand and they both entered the boat and all was calm. Jesus rebuked him terming him to possess little faith. If Peter could have focused on Jesus, he could not start sinking. The lesson here is that many a time we are distracted from the Lord by the problems that come to us. Then the devil enters the scene and tells us we cannot make it through the problem.In that situation, our faith deminishes and we get defeated. The golden rule of faith is to focus on Jesus in all situations and he is able to take us through. As I conclude, know that the Lord is our strength. When problems come, know that he is within reach, and like Simon Peter tell him to save you. He is always faithful to help us where we are weak. When in a problem, don't keep quiet, call him he is within reach. Have a lovely day.
