Rock the Boat

 

This is a picture of me in my little floating boat. I love to play in the water! Floating in my inflatable boat reminds me of a story in the Bible. There was a man named Peter who was also in a boat.

Luke 14:29-33
“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.  But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”  Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

I think we can learn from Peter. The whole time Peter was walking on the water, he was safe, but then he got distracted by the wind and he lost focus. So many times in our lives we lose focus on Jesus and we forget that he has everything under control. The wind may be blowing and the storms may be rocking our boat, but God will always be our umbrella if we keep our focus on him.
