Keep your chin and eyes up!

In Matthew 14:22-33 we read about Jesus walking on water, and then He calls Peter to walk towards Him…

The interesting thing is that the disciples feared the stormy waters, but Jesus walked on the water – He walked exactly on what they feared!

While Peter was keeping his eyes on Jesus, he walked on the water (his fears), but the moment he looked down at the waters (at his fears), he sank.

It’s easy to judge him, and to call him doubtful, but how many times do we do exactly the same?  We focus on what we fear and get consumed in the world we live in as well as with our own diverse fears.

All that we should do, is to keep our chin up and focus intentionally our eyes on Jesus!  Only then we will be able to walk on our fears.

I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

Psalm 16:8

1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he [b]meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the [c]rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
