Save me LORD
Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Life is not void of storms just because we are Christians, in fact, more storms probably arise because we are Christians. However, make no mistake about it, Jesus is with you through the storms. Jesus has power over the storms. It can be very life changing when we experience Jesus' calm in our storm but life shaking when we get our eyes off Jesus and on to the storms of life. I always want to step out in faith, experience God in ways I have before, but often greater ways I've yet to. But these storms that arise! Like Peter, taking his focus off of his amazing Savior and casting it upon an angry sea. These storms then become bigger than God. Lord save me, help me, from such doubt in my life. I must know and acknowledge that doubt exists in my life but also that you have power to help me believe. No, this isn't a confession that I doubt my Savior now, but more of an awareness that the sinful seed still exists in my mind. I must take every thought captive that exalts itself above Gods word. I dont always perfectly walk through trials, but my Perfect Savior has always walked through them with me. He desires me to come to Him and I desire to take Him up on His offer. How about you? Dont let the storms stop you. Do you simply want to come to Jesus today?
