JESUS CHRIST WILL NEVER LET YOU SINK

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Matthew 14:31

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Additional Verses

📖 2 Chronicles 20:1-30; Matthew 14:23-33; John 14:12-26

In John 14:12 the LORD Jesus Christ gives you this assurance, “If anyone believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do, and also, he will do even greater works than these because I go to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in My name so that the Son may be glorified in the Father.” After His Resurrection, Jesus Christ ascended to the Father in Heaven where He is seated with Him at God’s right hand. On the Day of Pentecost the LORD poured upon His Church His Spirit who gives every believer the ability and efficiency to witness for the LORD Jesus Christ. Before the disciples had received the power of the Holy Spirit, they always lived and acted in fear. In Matthew 14 when the disciples saw Jesus Christ walking on the water, Simon Peter asked if the LORD could also allow him to join Him and Jesus Christ saw his faith and commanded him to come. Peter had the genuine desire to do the impossible, to reach the unreachable, so he asked Jesus Christ to allow him. At first Peter was able to walk on the water just as the LORD was doing. However when he became distracted by the big waves all around him, he became afraid and immediately began to sink. However, Peter managed to do one thing before he drowned. He cried out, “LORD save me!” Immediately Jesus Christ reached out His hand and caught him. “You of little faith, Jesus said, why did you doubt.” Jesus Christ did not leave Peter to sink despite his little faith. You may be in a situation which is threatening your life and you feel your faith is so little and you are seeing yourself drowning in your problems. Your obedience is the only proof of your faith in Jesus Christ. Just do what Simon Peter did. Call upon Jesus Christ to rescue you. He will never let you sink. Remember, the Bible says when you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Savior, you have the very presence of God in your heart through the Holy Spirit. Romans 8:11 says, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.” When Jesus Christ was at the Cross and was in so much pain, He called upon His Father in Heaven and He was able to yield His Spirit into God’s hands. It doesn’t matter the level of your faith, just believe and obey the assurance of God through His promises for you in the Holy Bible and you will certainly be rescued. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You LORD Jesus Christ for assuring me that You will never leave me and You are ready to save me in any situation or circumstance that might be drowning me. Give me the grace to be conscious of my faith and power to call out to Your name LORD Jesus Christ. In Your Holy Name I pray. Amen.
