November 23: Matt 14-16

Never takes His eyes off me!

Scripture: Matthew 14:28-31 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

Observation: Scot Cantrell from FaceBook on November 13: With his eyes on Jesus, Peter was able to get out of the boat and walk on water. When He took his eyes off of Him, he began to sink. But Jesus stuck His hand out and grabbed Peter because He never took His eyes off of Peter. That same reality is still true for each of us!! // This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”-Joshua 1:9

Application: With my eyes on Jesus, I can do whatever He says. But with my eyes on the storm, I am just a step away from sinking. How good it is to know that Jesus never takes His eyes off me!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for always knowing where I am and being present and ready to help. Amen.
