Keep Your Gaze on Jesus

Listen to Today's Devotion

“‘Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.’ So He said, ‘Come'” (Matthew 14:28-29 NKJV). For a few heart-stilling moments described in Matthew 14 Peter did the impossible. He defied every law of gravity and nature. Then he shifted his attention away from Jesus, and he sank like a brick. Give the storm waters more attention than the Storm Walker, and get ready to do the same.

We can’t choose whether or not storms come. But we can choose where we stare during a storm. Do whatever it takes to keep your gaze on Jesus. Courage is always a possibility. Feed your fears, and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will starve. Storms are not an option, but fear is.
