‘Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness
of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it. Beware of
allowing the influence of your friends or your circumstances to divide your
life. This only serves to sap your strength and slow your spiritual growth.
Beware of anything that can split your oneness with Him, causing you to see
yourself as separate from Him. Nothing is as important as staying right
spiritually. And the only solution is a very simple one— “Come to Me . . . .”
The intellectual, moral, and spiritual depth of our reality as a person is
tested and measured by these words. Yet in every detail of our lives where we
are found not to be real, we would rather dispute the findings than come to
Jesus.’ CHAMBERS
Matthew
14:25-33 “Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them (the disciples) ,
walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were
terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus
immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “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 toward 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?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then
those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of
God.”
Our faith is easy when it is not being tested. Hebrews
11:1 says faith is trusting in what we don’t see and what we hope for. So Peter started out by trusting, responding
to the word of Jesus. But then he felt
the salt water splashing his face. He
saw the wave rolling around him. He
realized that what he was doing was impossible … but there he was. The moment he stopped trusting .. he started
sinking.
That is the same way it is for us. There are situations in our lives that tell
us that what we are doing or trusting will happen is impossible. That you cannot do this .. you cannot survive
this .. you cannot bear this another minute … look to Jesus …
He Will Come And Save
You
“Say to those who are fearful hearted, Do not
be afraid The Lord your God will come And
with His mighty arm When you call on His
Name He will come and save you
Say those who are broken hearted Do not
lose your faith The Lord your God will
come And with His loving hand When you call on His Name He will come and save you
Chorus:
He will come and save
you Say to the weary one Your God will surely come He will come and save you
He will come and save
you Lift
up your eyes to Him You will arise again
He will come and save you”
You of little faith,
why did you doubt?
