Good Morning ☀️
Eyes Above the Storm, Feet on the Water
Psalm 121:1-2, I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does my help come from My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
When storms come into our lives, it is easy to focus on the wind, the waves, and the problems around us. Fear grows when our eyes stay fixed on the storm. Psalm 121 reminds us to look up and remember where our help comes from. Our strength does not come from ourselves but from the Lord, who created heaven and earth and holds all things in His hands.
Matthew 14:28-31, Peter stepped out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. As long as his eyes were on Jesus, he did the impossible. But when he noticed the wind and waves, fear took over, and he began to sink. Immediately, Jesus reached out His hand and caught him.
Like Peter, we are called to keep our eyes above the storm and our feet on the water. Faith does not mean the storm disappears. It means trusting Jesus in the middle of it. When fear tries to pull us under, we can look to Him, knowing He is near and ready to help. Today, whatever storm you are facing, keep your eyes on Jesus. The waves may be strong, but the One who walks on them is stronger.
Heavenly Father, when the storms of life surround me, help me keep my eyes fixed on you. Remind me that you are my help, my strength, and my refuge. When fear begins to rise, take my hand and draw me closer to you. Give me faith to trust you above what I see and courage to keep walking where you lead. In Jesus name Amen
