Not until Peter glanced at the storm did the pathway to Christ become an obstacle again. The waves began to consume Peter instead of lead him to the closeness he initially desired. Looking at the waves made walking on them impossible.
Crying out to the Lord, Peter instantly learned how close the Lord already was. What at first seemed like an obstacle was in reality a pathway. The waves simply revealed his overwhelming need for the strong arms that were already near.
Are you looking at the waves of life and finding them impossible to cross?
Look up. And see Him standing on those same waves.
“He is not far from every one of us;
For in him we live, and move, and have our being.”
~ Acts 17:27,28
Father, Thank You for Your constant presence. Thank You for the trials that show us our need for You. Help us to acknowledge our need by looking to You daily and moment by moment. In Jesus Name. Amen
You can read the entire account of this storm in Matthew 14:22-33.
