Meditate On
…let us run with endurance the race that is
set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith…
Hebrews 12:1–2
Living
The Extraordinary Life
Have you always longed to live a life
that’s beyond the ordinary? Well, you can. You can live in the realm of the
extraordinary and even the impossible by the power of the Holy Spirit when you
keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith!
The disciple Peter was able to walk on
water as long as his eyes were on Jesus. Remember that Peter was just an
ordinary man like you and me. But as long as he looked to Jesus, the Holy
Spirit was able to work and Peter could do the impossible. And he was doing
fine until he took his eyes off Jesus and considered the boisterous wind
(Matthew 14:30). The devil must have whispered in his ear, “You’re not supposed
to be walking on water. Don’t you know that? Look at the huge waves. Feel the
strong wind. You are going to drown!” And the moment Peter took his eyes off
Jesus and looked at his natural circumstances, logic took over and told him
that he could not walk on water. That’s when he began to sink.
Beloved, realize that the Spirit of God
works to the measure you keep your eyes on Jesus. Today, if you’re being rocked
by 10-foot waves of sickness, debt or depression, don’t fix your eyes on the
storm. Keep your eyes instead on the Lord. As you meditate on His glory and
grace, faith will arise. And you will see His Spirit empower you with His
wisdom, His strength and His limitless resources to walk in victory over every
single storm!
