But
when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried
out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took
hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?"
Matthew 14:30-31
There will be days when doubt will creep in the soul of our well-being. We will forget to trust in the Lord and allow ourselves to be held by the power of His strength. Fear will try and rob our faith, and we will need to be reminded why we must hold on.
Jesus performed many miracles. Peter walked on the water. But, when he began to sink, he called for Christ to help. His faith was weakened and he was afraid. When we are afraid, God longs for us to BELIEVE more, so we will SUFFER less.
When we find ourselves sinking, the sense of need drives us to the One who saves. Our Savior reminds us why we must come to Him. He pulls us from the waves of worry. And, when we are ready to be held, He leads us to the safety of the shore. God hears our prayers for strength and increases our faith, as He guides us to the safety of the shore.
God is never far from our time of need. There WILL be storms in our lives. But, He WILL strengthen our faith, as He strengthens us. He will guide and provide all the days of our lives. We must seek Him with all of our hearts and never doubt. He truly has the power to save.
Dear God, Thank you for Your everlasting love. Forgive us when we forget to believe in the power of Your greatness. Teach us to trust in the timing of Your will. And, increase the heart of our faithfulness, even in the mighty storms of our lives. Amen
