“KNOW WHEN YOU ARE SINKING”
SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew 14:22-31
EXPOSITION:
Peter had been bold in his quest to walk on the water to affirm the personality of Jesus, something none of the disciples had thought of. Jesus agreed to his request, so Peter stepped out and began to walk on the water. However, with the onset of the boisterous wind, Peter became afraid and began to sink. When Peter realised that He was sinking, He cried out to the Lord.
Though he was rebuked by Jesus for his unbelief in the face of the storms, he was saved. Peter could have drowned if he didn’t call out to Jesus.
In our walk with God, we are called to diligently seek to pursue the ideals of God with a desire to please Him with all that we are, and all that we have. Unfortunately, in the course of time, things including our faith seem to dwindle, and like Peter we begin to sink. Our reaction to this unfortunate stage in our life matters a lot. It is either we pretend that all is well and we sink or we cry out to Jesus for help; who is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
What do you do when things are not going in the right direction; when the flesh seems to be prevailing? In such moments, do well to do away with pretension and cry out and you shall be strengthened once again.
PRAYER:
Oh God, reach out to me and hold me when I am falling.
MEMORY VERSE FOR THE WEEK:
