23 And after He had dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way from the land, beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. ~ Matthew 14:23-25
Jesus had sent His disciples on ahead and then went and prayed. Then He came walking on the water. Why? What was the reason Jesus came walking on the water? Well, let me tell you. Jesus came walking on the water… get this now; He came walking on the water to show that all our problems, everything we might be going through, or will have to go through, the problems that are trying to sink us, are under His feet. PRAISE GOD!
-
- The financial struggle you’re going through
- It’s under His feet
- The child who is away from God
- It’s under His feet
- That strong-willed son who maybe strung out on drugs
- It’s under His feet
- That wayward daughter who may have gone her own way
- It’s under His feet
- The difficulties at work, a co-worker, the boss
- It’s under His feet
- That legal matter you have to deal with
- It’s under His feet
- Maybe someone is facing divorce
- It’s under His feet
- The financial struggle you’re going through
All these problems and difficulties are under His feet. The world cannot throw a problem at you that God cannot solve and has already made provisions for it. All things are under His feet; all we have to do is keep our eyes on Him.
Don’t miss the lesson here; it’s very important. When Jesus was praying, He saw His disciples in the storm. He could have prayed for His Heavenly Father to calm the storm at that time, but then we would never know God puts all things under His feet. We would never know He is the Storm Calmer. Is He your Storm Calmer this morning? (You missed another chance to give God praise right there). Has He ever delivered you from a storm? He can do it again.
You see, the very thing that had them in despair, the thing that threatened to capsize their boat, to suck them under, was the very thing Jesus used to come walking on to show His dominance over their problems and trials. Don’t allow your fears, stress, or storms to overcome you; our God has it all under His feet.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Put Your Faith In The Storm Calmer.
