And pray that we may be delivered from the wicked and evil men, for not everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 (NIV)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" Matthew 14:25-30
In the light of the enormity of the deadline that I sometimes faced with, I feel very inadequate. Overburden by overwhelming workload and seemingly impossible task, I feel 'burn out'.
'I am stressed out' I tell myself. 'Its easier to sleep through it'. I know I cannot in my own strength go through the projects that I have to complete, because it's too tiring for me. Neither can we, as mere men, walk on water, yet we read in Matthew 14:28 that Peter was able to walk on water--as long as he kept his focus on Jesus. However, when he started looking at what he was doing, and realized the sheer impossibility of it, he started to sink.
Peter is often criticized because he started to doubt and began to sink. However, it must not be overlooked that he was the only one of the twelve who had the courage to get out of the boat! So what is the boat in our daily life? The comfort zone that we so want to cling on to like the rest of the 11 disciples. Because remember, we can't walk on water unless we step out of the boat (comfort zone) and believe Daddy for the 1000 times MORE!!!
You and I serve a remarkable Daddy who absolutely loves dealing with our inadequacies. In fact, the Bible tells us that we should be happy about our weaknesses because they give us the opportunity to experience the power of Christ in our lives. Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." (2 Co. 12:9) To this statement the Apostle Paul replied, "Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
no matter hw small or big the problem u face.. focus on God.. as he will delivered u away the evil one.. trust in him as he will mk u go thru'it.. hav a nice dae!!
