The waters saw You, God;The waters saw You; they were in anguish;The ocean depths also trembled.Psalm 77:16

(Overcoming the 2nd Wave)

When Jesus said, ‘Come’, Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water to reach Him. But then, since he trembled seeing the winds and began to sink, he cried out, “Lord, please save me!’. Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped”. Matthew 14: 29 – 32.And then Peter walked triumphantly over the sea that was turbulent because of the winds. 

Firstly, He easily suppressed the waves that raged about him. Speaking in the current circumstances, he overcame the ‘first wave’. He did not fear; because the Lord’s word ‘Come’ made him courageous ... because his eyes were fixed on the face of the Lord …

However, after a while, when he saw the second wave of the wind and the storm, he was frightened, and he began to sink. In that moment he cried out, “Lord, save me!” And Jesus immediately stretched out His hand and caught hold of Peter who was sinking low in the middle of the fierce wind and storm.

We can also look at the face of Jesus. If there is fear rising in our hearts when the storms beat and howl around us, may the voice of the Lord give us strength …

The LORD sat as King at the flood;Yes, the LORD sits as King forever.The LORD will give strength to His people;The LORD will bless His people with peace.(psalms 29: 10,11)

O Lord, our Lord, You, who are Almighty and King over all the storm, we worship You … Amen!

Hide me now

Under Your wings

Cover me

Within Your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar

I will soar with You above the storm

Father, You are King over the flood

I will be still and know You are God
