Don’t focus on the storm, but the one who permitted it.

[Underwhosewings]

Yes,

I was like Peter,
I took my eyes off
the LORD of glory
and began looking
at circumstances,

so like Peter,
I also began to sink.

Praise God, he lifted my eyes to the one who has all power in heaven and in earth.

May your eyes be lifted.

God has forgiven my sin and failure, healed my wounds.

He can do the same for you.
Only keep your eyes on Him
(as I have learnt, that is the secret).

Whatever happens,
now I know,
That God did it, not any person.
Or God allowed Satan to do it.
If we are the sheep of His pasture, the Body of Christ, the House of God,
Then, our Heavenly Father loves us very much.
And wants us to Grow Up, to be strong,
To have His wisdom.
He wants us to rule and reign with Him on this earth.
Don’t stay in the shallows of Christianity.

Speak to your Saviour, tell him your heart, even though He knows it.
He loves to hear our voice.

Be an “open book” like Peter.
Have an open mouth like Peter.

You might suffer,
But your aim is to learn/grow, spiritually.

Psalm 138:8 KJV
The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands.

Romans 8:18 KJV
For I reckon that
the sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

I focus on the one who can calm it, Jesus Christ.

I focus on the one who can calm it, Jesus Christ.

Psalm 107:24-30 KJV
These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
[25] For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
[26] They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
[27] They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
[28] Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
[29] He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
[30] Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

Jesus saves Peter from drowning

I pictured Him closer to Peter too.
