Faltering faith or faithful faith? Matthew 14:30,31

Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

So, it is Monday, Columbus Day (really Oct. 12) and a holiday for all federal workers.

So much is happening in the world. So much stimulus! People have phones that give them espn alerts, stock alerts, news alerts, you can get some type of alert for almost anything. Why?

Do you think of God as many times as you think about or look at your phone? Where does your eternal life lie? With your phone or with God? Think of Peter. Peter was the assertive apostle, the more bold and aggressive one. There were times when Peter's intentions were good, but he took his eyes off God, off Jesus, and then what happened? Are you a Peter?

In Matthew 14 Jesus was walking to the disciples in the boat and, yes, Jesus was walking on water. Peter told Jesus if that is really you LORD tell me to come. Jesus' response: "YES, COME!" Peter went over the side of the boat and was walking on water to Jesus; but what happened?

Matthew 15:30,31 "But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink, "Save me, LORD!" he shouted. (31) Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. "You have so little faith, why did you doubt me?" Jesus said.

You and I may start out with good intention and then our faith falters. This does not mean we have failed, just faltered. When Peter's faith faltered, he reached out to Christ, the only one who could help. He was afraid, but he still looked to Christ.

When you are apprehensive about the troubles around you, when the storm comes, and you doubt Christ's presence or ability to help, remember that he (Jesus) is always with you and is the only one who can really help.

Today, each time you pull your phone out, look up and thank Jesus, thank God for something. God always appreciates communication from HIS children. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
