I started my blog again on Sunday and intended to post again on Wednesday. Then someone hacked into my home phone line and was making calls on my line while blocking me from using it. I spent the better part of Wednesday and Thursday getting that corrected. It seems like Satan is using distractions more and more to get Christians off track, especially when we are making progress for the Lord. One of our senior pastors even posted on FaceBook about that problem.
I am reminded of the scriptural account of Simon Peter walking on the water toward Jesus. (Matthew 14:22-33) He took that first leap of faith stepping out of the boat and onto the water. He was making good progress until he took his eyes off of Jesus and noticed the storm raging around him. When we take our attention off of Jesus, fear and doubt begin to creep in and we begin to sink into earthly cares, but just as He lifted Peter out of the water and back to the safety of the boat, He will lift us from fear and doubt into the safety of His presence and our calling.
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”
