Matthew 14:31 (ESV)
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of
him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Faith is more powerful than fear. Faith can overcome
obstacles, faith can see you through any situation, faith can cause miracles to
happen, faith can make a way where there is no way. Faith can calm storms.
Imagine being out in a wooden boat in the middle of a storm, the waves
crashing, the boat rocking, the thunder and lightning billowing overhead. There
are a lot of reasons to fear that storm. But there are more reasons to have FAITH
in GOD.
Faith is more powerful than any storm. Faith is more
powerful than your fear. Faith calms the storm. Jesus called Peter out onto the
water to walk towards Him. Peter didn’t know what was going to happen, he
stretched one leg out and stood on the water, then the other leg and began to
walk. Keeping his eyes on Jesus His faith was more powerful than his fear, then
the moment he took his eyes off Jesus, he began to sink. Jesus reached out and
caught him and as they climbed back into the boat the storm stopped, the waves
were calm. Faith in God is powerful enough to calm a raging storm.
Dear Lord, Thank You that faith is more powerful than fear.
We don’t have to face life with fear, we can live a life of faith! In the Name
of Jesus, Amen.
