Put Your Binoculars On Folks!

I was doing a Bible study with the kids this morning and the text was from Matthew 14:22-32. It is the story of Jesus walking on water and Peter going out to meet him. I ask the question, "Tell me a way we can keep our eyes on Jesus." Sam responded, "We can use binoculars." Out of the mouths of babes!

I have so many friends that are stepping out on the crashing waves only to find themselves sinking. This got me to thinking, "Why do we sink when we are walking toward our Lord?" We take our eyes off of Him. This life will bring heartache and despair, but if we are in the Lord He promises to keep us. He looked directly at Peter when he was sinking and said, "You of little faith. Why did you doubt?" When we are sinking in the storm we need to put our spiritual binoculars on and SEE that our story is already written. The God of heaven has a plan that cannot be changed by our current circumstances. We have His promises written in the Bible and we see His salvation throughout His holy word.


And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and SEE the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. Exodus 14:13
