Hey friends.

Right after Jesus fed the 5,000, the disciples got back into a boat. And again — a storm hit.

In the middle of the night, they saw something walking toward them on the water.

They were terrified.

But it was Jesus.

He said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

Peter said, “Lord, if it’s really You, tell me to come to You on the water.”

Jesus said one word:

“Come.”

Peter stepped out of the boat. And he walked on water.

He walked on water.

But then… he looked at the wind. He noticed the waves. He felt the storm.

And he started to sink.

He cried out, “Lord, save me!”

And immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him.

Here’s what this teaches us:

Peter didn’t sink because of the storm.

He sank when he shifted his focus.

When you focus on fear, you sink.

When you focus on Jesus, you walk in things you never thought possible.

You don’t have to have perfect faith. Peter didn’t.

You just have to keep your eyes on Jesus — and when you start to sink, cry out.

He will reach for you.

Today, whatever storm you’re facing, ask yourself:

“Where are my eyes?”

Fix them on Jesus.

Be strong. Be courageous.

See you tomorrow.
