Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; (Hebrews 12:2). When as a believer you remove your
eyes from God in times of hardship, problems and temptation, you have just
plotted your downfall. If you begin to trust man due to one promise or the
other they have made to you, you lose focus. Also if you begin to murmur and
complain, you will short-circuit divine intervention in your situation.
In Matthew 14, Jesus was walking on
the lake, and when the disciples saw Him they were terrified and thought it was
a ghost walking up to them so they cried out in fear. Jesus spoke and reassured
them. Then Peter said to Him, “Lord if it is you tell me to come.” The Lord
said to Peter “come”. Peter stepped out and walked on the water towards Jesus
but when looked away from Jesus, he saw the wind, was afraid and began to sink.
Immediately he cried out and Jesus reached out and held him.
This is to say that a Christian, you
need to look up to God; Peter was looking up to Him as he was walking, and he
was moving very well but when he removed his eyes from Him, he lost balance. In
your walk with God, who do we look up to when things are not going the way it
should? Your parents, friends, or loved ones? Beloved, you can only get hurt
and disappointed when you look up to people but when you look up to Jesus as
the yoke and pain bearer, the storms of life will be over. So, look up to Him
today and away from the troubles.
amen
