“耶稣立刻对他们说：“放心吧！是我，不要怕。””
马太福音 14:27
“But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.””
Matthew 14:27
Peter, one of Jesus’s disciples, needed God’s comforting presence. One night he and the other disciples were sailing across the Sea of Galilee when a strong storm arose. All of a sudden, Jesus showed up walking on water!
Naturally, this took the disciples by surprise. He reassured them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid” (Matthew 14:27). Peter impulsively asked Jesus if he could join Him. He stepped out of the boat and walked toward Jesus. But he soon lost focus, became aware of the dangerous and humanly impossible circumstance he was in, and started sinking. He cried out, “Lord, save me!” and Jesus lovingly rescued him (vv. 30–31).
Like Peter, we can learn that Jesus, the Son of God, is with us even in the storms of life!
Jesus,
thank You that You have the power and authority to calm the storms in our lives.
Help us to trust You.
