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!
