But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and he began to sink, he cried, saying Lord save me. Immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and caught him and said unto him "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" Matthew 14:30-31
If there's anyway the devil can get your eyes away from the word, he'll do it. He'll cause trouble, he'll make the circumstances around you pitch and roll like a rowboat in a hurricane. He'll do anything he can to get you to concentrate on the realm of the physical senses and the situation around you instead of on the promise of God, because he knows that if he doesn't, you will take that promise and beat his brains out with it.
That's what he did to Peter. When peter first jumped out of the boat that day in response to Jesus' word. What happened? He walked right across the water without a problem. His whole being was fasten on the word Jesus had spoken to him "Come"
But when he took his eyes off that word, he started looking at the storm. He started looking at the impossible thing he was doing. After all he was a fisherman. All his training and experience told him when the waves were that high, you are going under. He started to focus on what he knew in the natural instead of what Jesus said. When he did that, his faith slipped out of gear and he started to sink.
The devil will do everything he can to get you to turn loose of it. He'll stir up things around you, he'll try to get you into fear. He'll push every button, don't give in, don't give up on what the Lord has said, don't let what happened to Peter happen to you. Once you get a revelation from the word of God, hang on to it, hold on to it, like your life depends on it, as truly it does depend on it. Don't focus on anything else. Just trust God with all of your heart.
Good morning, hope I have been able to boost your day, do have a wonderful week ahead.
