Feeling overwhelmed by the storms in your life? You're not alone. In today's
0:05
video, we'll explore the powerful story of Jesus walking on water and inviting
0:11
Peter to join him. Discover how this story can help you find faith and
0:16
strength when you feel like you're sinking. In the midst of life's storms, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, to feel like we're
0:32
sinking beneath the weight of our challenges. But in those moments, there's
0:37
a powerful lesson of faith waiting to be learned. One that we find echoed in the
0:42
story of Jesus or properly known as Yahshua, inviting Peter to step out onto
0:48
the stormy seas. Matthew 14 verse 22 to 33 tells us this extraordinary encounter
0:55
where Yahshua or Jesus defies the laws of nature by walking on water. But
1:03
perhaps even more remarkable is when he invites Peter to join him. It's a vivid
1:09
illustration of stepping into the unknown, driven by faith rather than fear
1:15
Walking on water wasn't just a miraculous display of divine power. It
1:20
was an invitation for Peter and for us to trust wholly in Christ. In the face of
1:27
chaos, evil, and darkness symbolized by the choppy waters, our master and Savior
1:34
demonstrated his dominion over the forces of darkness. Yet Peter's experience also mirrors our own experiences. Despite his initial courage
1:46
he falters. He falters when he takes his eyes off Jesus and focuses instead on
1:53
the wind and the waves. How often do we too begin to sink when we allow our fear
2:00
and doubt to overshadow our faith. But here's the beautiful truth. Just as
2:06
Yahshua reached out to save Peter, he reaches out to us in our moments of
2:11
doubt and despair. He offers his hand to steady us when you feel like we're
2:16
drowning in the tumultuous waters of life. This story reminds us that Jesus
2:22
not only commands the storms around us, but he also offers his hand in the
2:29
midst of them. When we fixate on our fears, we sink. But when we fix our gaze
2:36
on Jesus, on Yahshua, even the impossible becomes possible. So as we reflect on
2:44
Matthew 14 verses 22 to 33, let's consider the areas of our lives where we
2:50
feel like we're facing deep waters. Where does it seem impossible to proceed? In
2:56
those moments, let's remember that with Christ, even the most daunting challenges
3:02
can become a pathway to faith. Take a moment to identify the step of faith
3:09
you've been hesitant to take and as you do, ask for Christ's guidance and
3:15
strength to move you forward. Envision him reaching out his hand to you
3:20
offering you his unwavering support, and remember to keep your focus on him and
3:26
not on the storm. In the chaos of life's storms, may we find the faith to walk on
3:32
water, to step out into the unknown with courage, knowing that our Master and
3:38
Savior is with us every step of the way. Now there are just a lot of things you
3:45
can learn about trusting God. That's why I invite you to watch this next video
3:50

3:56
it truly means to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding. So

thank you so much for joining me today and see you next time
