Have you ever been tossed to and fro mentally, emotionally, or maybe even physically? Let's see what happens to those who follow Jesus when the winds and waves seem to be winning...
.
Today has been one of those emotional roller coaster days. I heard a small, still voice say "You're bleeding. Bleeding while trying to lead."
.
What? I went through a range of emotions and countering negative thoughts with God's word for most of the day. The Lord led me to Matthew 14 tonight, and I pray it blesses you.
.
I LOVE this chapter. There is SO much going on with Jesus. John the Baptist is beheaded! The prophet who taught repentance and baptized the sinners. He baptized JESUS even! .
Next, Jesus leaves after hearing that news. He wanted to be alone, but the crowds got whiff of where Jesus was headed, and followed Him. I LOVE JESUS response...
"And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick." Matthew 14:14
.
The compassion of JESUS! ❤❤❤
.
Then there is the miracle of feeding the five thousand with only five loaves of bread and two fish. The compassion of JESUS!❤
.
Then Jesus walks on water in the fourth watch of the night (one translation says 3 a.m.), and his disciples were scared! "But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14:27
.
The love of JESUS! ❤ Peter asks can he come out there on the water too. Jesus says, "Come." Peter was doing good, but took his eyes off JESUS to see the strong wind and the waves, only 2 sink. "Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:31. When Jesus climbed back in the boat, the winds stopped!
🔥TALK ABOUT AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER!🔥
.
When the winds are roaring, and the waves are raging in your life, don't forget to cry out to JESUS. You are NOT forgotten. Jesus will give you love by immediately reaching out to grab you. Jesus will also give you that TRUTH by asking, "why did you doubt?"
.
The LOVE of JESUS! ❤
.
The winds and the waves of your life shall pass & calm. Keep your eyes on JESUS.❤
