WEEK 5 DAY 3
Walking on Water with Jesus
Devotional
Peter's bold request to walk on water wasn't just about performing a miracle - it was about being where Jesus was. His desire to be close to Jesus outweighed his fear of the impossible. When we focus solely on Jesus, we too can do what seems impossible. It's only when we allow our circumstances to distract us that we begin to sink. The key isn't in our own ability to walk on water, but in keeping our eyes fixed on the One who makes it possible.
Bible Verse
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." - Hebrews 12:1-2
Reflection Question
What would change in your life if you focused completely on Jesus instead of your circumstances?
Quote
You're safer on the waves with Jesus than in a boat without him.
Prayer
Jesus, help me keep my eyes fixed on You. When I start to sink, remind me to reach for Your hand. Thank You for always being there to lift me up. Amen.
