Keeping Our Eyes on Jesus 🧑🧑🧒🧒
“Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and caught him. ‘You of little faith,’ He said, ‘why did you doubt?’” — Matthew 14:31
📚 Bible in a Year: Reading for the Day
Old Testament: Psalms 146–150
New Testament: Matthew 14–15
💡 Devotional Thought:
The Book of Psalms concludes with a magnificent call for everything that has breath to praise the Lord. Every circumstance of life ultimately leads us back to worship because God remains faithful, powerful, and worthy.
Matthew records Peter walking on the water until he shifted his focus from Jesus to the storm. Like Peter, we often begin in faith but become distracted by fear. Christ's hand is always extended toward us, ready to lift us up whenever we call upon Him. Victory is found not by focusing on the waves but by fixing our eyes on Jesus.
A steadfast church keeps its focus on Christ regardless of changing circumstances.
📝 Application:
Council & Pastoral: Lead with unwavering faith in Christ.
Men & Ladies: Trust Jesus when life's storms arise.
Youth & Children: Keep your eyes on Jesus every day, even when things become difficult.
🤔 Reflection:
What storm is trying to take my focus away from Jesus today?
💭 Take Away:
Faith grows stronger when our eyes remain fixed on Christ.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for reaching out Your hand whenever we begin to sink. Strengthen our faith and help us keep our eyes fixed on You instead of our fears. Through every storm, remind us that You are always near and that You are faithful to carry us safely through. In Your precious name we pray, Amen.
