Reach Out To Jesus!
The Storm Will Pass!
“Lord, save me!” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, O man of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Matthew 14: 30-31
The storms we have to deal with, our difficult situations, may cause us to drown in our anxieties, but they need not, because we have Jesus! Reaching out and holding on to Jesus, will save us!
Peter, the Disciple of Jesus, had faith. He knew that he could walk on water if Jesus gave him this grace. That worked, walking on water, as long as he keeps his eyes on Jesus. However, he brought his eyes on to the waging sea, feeling on his own, he started to sink.
When we had that sinking feeling, call on Jesus!
Peter models for us our reality! There will be storms, difficult situations in our lives, Peter called on Jesus and He held Peter up! The storm is real, but so is Jesus, and His power to save!
Two things are essential in rising out of the storms in our lives, and Peter models both. Peter had a relationship with Jesus, he was a disciple, that is the first point! The second is, when Peter was in trouble, he called on the
Holy Name of Jesus and Jesus lifted him up! Jesus will do the same for us! Some of us already have a testimony how the storm that was meant to destroy us, brought us into closer union with Jesus!
Call on Jesus and be saved!
Have a blessed Sunday!
