When you see much to be troubled by…<\/p>\n
Remember the man walking on the water.<\/p>\n
He quit looking at the Man walking on the water.<\/p>\n
So he began to sink.<\/p>\n
But did the right thing.<\/p>\n
And got back to walking on the water.<\/p>\n
Was he on his own feet by then?<\/p>\n
Or on the Other’s? <\/p>\n
And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.<\/p>\n
And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.<\/p>\n
But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.<\/p>\n
And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?<\/p>\n
And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.<\/p>\n
Matthew 14:28-32<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
So…do you<\/i> see much to be troubled by?<\/p>\n
Are you sinking because of it?<\/p>\n
Then your focus is wrong, Mark!<\/p>\n
I want to instinctively look to Jesus.<\/p>\n
And when I don’t do so instinctively, I want to remember to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
