9th Sunday of Matthew | Walking on the Water (Matthew 14:22–34)![]()
![]()
The greatest miracle in today’s Gospel isn’t that Jesus walked on water.![]()
![]()
It’s that Peter did too.![]()
![]()
As long as Peter kept his eyes fixed on Christ, he did what was humanly impossible. The moment he shifted his attention to the wind and the waves, fear replaced faith, and he began to sink.![]()
![]()
The same is true for us.![]()
![]()
The storms in our lives are real. Anxiety, illness, financial pressures, broken relationships, temptations—they all rage around us. But we don’t sink because the storm is strong. We sink when we stop looking to Christ.![]()
![]()
Even then, there is hope. Peter’s prayer was only three words:![]()
![]()
“Lord, save me!”![]()
![]()
And immediately Christ stretched out His hand.![]()
![]()
Today, whatever storm you are facing, don’t spend your energy measuring the waves. Fix your eyes on Christ. If you’ve already begun to sink, cry out to Him. His hand is always closer than you think.![]()
