2.6- Jesus has got this
2.6-
In the storms of life I am finding it is critical to keep my eyes on Jesus. If I look at my strength, I sink. If I look at the boat I just left. I sink. If I look at other guys who are sinking slower or faster than I am. I still sink. If I look at the rain. I sink. If I look at the winds. I sink. As long as I look at Jesus I am fine because He is fine. His gaze into my eyes with their locked vision from His love into my need causes everything to be okay regardless of the surprises that happened to me. It is well with my soul.
Matthew 15.
22 Immediately He [gt]made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. 23 After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. 24 But the boat was already [gu]a long distance from the land, [gv]battered by the waves; for the wind was [gw]contrary. 25 And in the [gx]fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out [gy]in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”
28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and *said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”
34 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place [gz]recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick; 36 and they implored Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.
