Matthew 14:29-30 - “So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
In your walk of faith, what you choose to focus on is very important. Say God gave you His Word about your healing; the focus you should have is that of the Word God gave you which speaks of your health. You should not allow your mind to dwell on thoughts of sickness and disease. Focusing on thoughts like that will weaken your faith and you may not be able to see the results of the Word given by God.
Our anchor scripture is very instructive in this regard. Peter had seen Jesus walking on water and had asked; “…Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” Matthew 14:28. To this, Jesus said “Come”, and amazingly Peter started walking to Jesus on the water. This shows the power of God’s Word. God’s Word suspended the natural law for Peter that he was able to get on the water and started walking as our anchor scripture confirmed. No situation has authority over God’s Word.
Peter was walking on the strength of the Word. However, he took his focus and confidence off that Word “Come” as given by the Master and he began to sink. He looked at the wind. No matter how noisy the “wind” of your situation is, God’s Word to you is still the answer.
Isaiah 55:11 declares; “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Look away from every storm, they only seek to distract you. Hold tightly to what God has said to you in His Word about the situation and you will be walking in the miraculous.
Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You for Your Word will never fail to accomplish what You said. I set my focus on Your Word to me and I refuse to allow any distractions. I walk in miracles as I depend on Your Word, in Jesus Name. Amen.
