Focus on Him only that can save you
Sep 18th
WHEN THE DISCIPLES SAW HIM WALKING ON THE SEA THEY WERE TROUBLED, SAYING, IT IS A GHOST! AND THEY CRIED OUT FOR FEAR. BUT IMMEDIATELY JESUS SPOKE TO THEM, SAYING, BE OF GOOD CHEER! IT IS I; DO NOT BE AFRAID. SO HE SAID, COME. AND WHEN PETER HAD CAME DOWN OUT OF THE BOAT HE WALKED ON THE WATER TO GO TO JESUS. BUT HE SAW THAT THE WIND WAS BOISTEROUS, HE WAS AFRAID; AND BEGINNING TO SINK HE CRIED OUT SAYING “LORD SAVE ME.” MATTHEW 14:26,27,29 & 30 *NKJV
Now Peter began to sink because he took his eyes off of Jesus, and focused on the waves all around him. This was because his faith faltered. So what did Peter do but reach out to Jesus who was the only one that could save him! You see Peter forgot to WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7
Now we may not be walking on water, but when our troubles surround us, if we focus on them instead of placing our faith in Jesus, we will start to sink as well!
So, when you are facing difficulties and troubles surround you; keep your eyes on Jesus’ power rather then on your problems. Also when you are apprehensive about your troubles, and if you doubt Christ’s presence or His great ability to help; remember that He is the only one that can really help you as well!
Now tonight why not read this story. You will find it in The Book of Matthew 14:22-33, for wonderful reading it truly is!
Finally, WATCH, STAND FAST IN THE FAITH BE BRAVE, BE STRONG. LET ALL YOU DO BE DONE WITH LOVE. Amen. 1 CORINTHIANS 16:13
We have a caring Heavenly Father

ONLY FEAR THE LORD, AND SERVE HIM IN TRUTH WITH ALL YOUR HEART; FOR CONSIDER WHAT GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE FOR YOU. 1 SAMUEL 12:24 *NKJV
In this busy world it is far too easy to forget all of the things that God has done for us. Often we take those blessings for granted, and sometimes we even forget to thank God for them.
It is written: THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL KEEP WITH YOU THE COVENANT AND THE MERCY WHICH HE SWORE TO YOUR FATHERS. AND HE WILL LOVE YOU AND BLESS YOU. DEUTERONOMY 7:12-13
Therefore, never forget to thank Him for His great love, and all of the blessings that He has given to you! In fact, a great way to start each day is to spend two minutes counting all of your blessings, and then try to have only loving thoughts all day long. For when we do are hearts become merry and we are walking in God’s Light, and that will make us feel even more blessed than before!
Also remember Beloved, when counting all of your blessings, to count the biggest blessing of them all, and that is having such a loving, caring Heavenly Father as we do! Amen!
