Young Bull Moose swimming across Monarch Lake, Colorado
On a walk around Monarch Lake in Colorado I noticed this young bull moose swimming across the water. He swam with ease until suddenly he seemed frightened, perhaps he hit deeper water. He began thrashing violently in the water until he finally regained his composure and calmly swam across the water to the shore.
In life we have all hit the deep water - times when our faith is tested.
He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong the wind was he became frightened; and, beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith,* why did you doubt?” ~ Matthew 14:29-31
Peter took his eyes off Jesus, became frightened, and began to sink, but Jesus was there to help Peter, just as he is with us.
What causes you to take your eyes off Jesus?
What steps can you take to keep your faith in a tumultuous world?
