Matthew 14:27-31 "Jesus spoke to them at once. 'Don't be afraid,' he said. 'Take courage. I am here!' Then Peter called to him, L'ord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.' 'Yes, come,' Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when Peter saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. 'Save me, Lord!' he shouted. Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. 'You have so little faith,' Jesus said. 'Why did you doubt me?'"
This morning as I read this passage in my Bible, the following thought came into my mind about Peter. When Peter began to sink, his mind drifted to the what if’s, and forgot what Jesus said to him. When we take our eyes off what God has said, and replace it with what we fear that we see around us, the end result is to doubt God and never see the amazing things God has for us and desires to do for us by our faith in Him.
What is so great about this story is that even when I doubt God, He still reaches out to me.
