5 Minutes of Focus 

"He Took The Climb"

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. 

Matthew 14:31‭-‬32 NIV

You serve a God who will not leave you when you fail, will not leave you when you fall.

Stop allowing people to criticize you, like Christians can't mess up. Peter messed up with Jesus right there, physically near him.

Jesus was right there, He was in fellowship with Peter out on the water AND Peter STILL lost his focus, he STILL allowed the cares of this world to rattle him, to shake him.

So, Beloved, Stop beating yourself up because you've messed up already just a few days into the new year.

Here's the thing, God never expected you to be perfect....

That's people expectation of you, NOT God's. 

Remember, The scriptures says:

When we were unable to help ourselves, at the right time, Christ died for us....which means God is used to seeing you in a vulnerable state, He's used to seeing your weaknesses. 

Romans 5:6 NCV 

But you know, what I love about Peter & Jesus out on the water? I LOVE that even though, Jesus called Peter out for losing faith and doubting....

He didn't let him go back and start over ALONE. He didn't let Peter go back and face the other disciples ALONE.

No, the scripture says:

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 

Matthew 14:32 NIV 

They meaning Peter & Jesus....

He was right there for him, he took the climb with him, he got back into the boat with him and he will do the same for you. 

Until Next Sunday.
