Mt14

Other than Jesus, only Peter actually walked on water! It was only for a moment, but every step was one more than any other man. His method was to focus on Jesus. When he took his eyes off Jesus, he sank like a rock. In the midst of his sinking he prayed an awesome prayer; "Lord save me!"

The key to getting through the storms of life is to focus on Jesus and to walk with Him. Peter was able to "walk" on water because Jesus was walking on water. As long as Peter was focused on Jesus, he was able to do everything Jesus was calling him to. When he changed his focus to something other than Jesus, he began to sink. Peter's next great move was to pray! Peter blew it plenty, but in this chapter we have much to emulate.

This principle applies to every aspect of our lives! Seek to focus on and follow Jesus today. Don't let life distract you from the reason for living. Walk with Jesus.
