Jesus Tells Us Not To Doubt

 So He said, “Come.” 

And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 

 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid;

and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, 

“O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Matthew 14:29-31  (NKJV)

Peter was  doing just fine while looking at Jesus while walking toward Him.  But, the moment he looked away, what happened?  He began to “fear” and started to “sink.”

What’s the message here?   Simple, “Never take your eyes off of Jesus, and all of which He is,and stands for.”  When we keep our eyes on Jesus we will never “sink“because Jesus saves!

There are many verses that deal with doubt in the Bible…but the big message is; “never doubt” and “have faith” and stay true to the Word of Christ.

Walk the narrow path, and trust in Him with all of your heart, mind, strength and soul.

And love Him with all of your heart, mind, strength and soul.

Trust.

Believe.

Walk in faith.  

When Jesus says something, we know it’s true, and we know we can trust in His Word.

He already fulfilled the biggest promise of all…He died for us in fulfillment of the scriptures , to save us from our sins so that we might live forever, doesn’t get bigger than that!

God will never let us down, and the passages in the Bible from the Old Testament to the New Testament all have one continuous theme.

What’s that theme?   God’s love and mercy for His children, and the miracle that His hands ordained.

His power, love, and mercy for us, is a valid and continuous process from the moment we are born, to the moment we die, and beyond.

And for those who are blessed to have believed in Him, and have accepted Him in their heart before leaving this earth,  are guaranteed a place at His table along with our own crown in heaven for eternity.

Life can become “unraveled” at a  moments notice.

Life can change in a blink of the eye as we know it.

Storms will come, and storms will go.

And, things never stay the same throughout this cycle called “life.”

But one thing that never changes and one thing that is certain...God will never leave us, forsake us, or desert us in times of woe.  In fact, He’s there in times of joy and when the weather is sunny and warm. 

And, He doesn’t just show up for storms and despair.  He cares for us twenty-four hours a day seven days a week for all the days of our life!

He makes it easier for us to get through the dark moments of our life and brings us through everything we face during our days here on earth.

Plus, He is there celebrating with us when we have joyous occasions. He is smiling and cheering right alongside of us, rest assured He is always with us.

He is faithful, He is loyal, He is amazing!

So, never doubt, never worry, and know this like the back of your hand…

GOD IS LOVE.

GOD IS REAL. 

GOD IS HERE. 

GOD IS THERE.

GOD IS EVERYWHERE we are. 

LOVE HIM.

Wait for HIM.

Because, we are who we are because of HIM.

“Father God, thank You for Your love and for being with me since the beginning of time, and since the beginning of my life, thank You for never giving up on me, thank You for loving me no matter what, and thank You, for listening to me, even when I go on and on, You’re an amazing listener, I love You LORD, forever and always, my heart belongs to YOU, praise You now and forever, all the glory and honor belong to You, no matter what, and the victory is Yours, in Jesus precious name, Amen.”
