Get Out The Boat

I think about Peter in the Gospels of how he was the only one of the 12 disciples willing to get out of the boat. I was doing well for sometime, but found himself beginning to glance at the storm around him, and began to sink. He sank because he took his eyes off Jesus. Every so often I find myself look at the things around me, and talking my focus off of Jesus. I begin to sink focusing on my struggles, circumstances, and obstacles, and forgetting about the great and mighty power of God. It a wonderful lesson that we can learn about keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. God says that His grace is sufficient no matter the circumstance. I am blessed to have some wonderful people in my life that helps me navigate back on course with my focus. You can learn some remarkable things about friends, and life when a storm blows into your life. Today I will fix my eyes on Jesus.
