Good Morning Beauties!
One of my favorite stories in the Bible is when Peter got out of the boat and walked on water toward Jesus. Did you catch that? He walked on water! He was brave, knew there was more, and looked to Jesus. It was all going so well until he took his focus off Jesus and back on his circumstance.
Can you relate to this story? I sure can. So many time I’ve trusted Jesus enough to follow Him, and I’ve gotten out of the boat. The moment I take my eyes off Jesus and turn my gaze to the reality of this world, I sink.
God has provided all the grace and favor we need to fulfill our life’s purpose. And, I believe, that grace is activated by our trust in Him. Trust is built when we know Him. We know Him by spending time with Him and listening to what He has to say. We have the privilege of partnership with God and sharing His very nature when we turn away from our desires of the world and what it has to offer.
Let’s look at what the Word says…
God’s Generous Grace
3 Everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. 4 As a result of this, he has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.” 2 Peter 1:3-4 The Passion Translation
Beauties, this relationship with God, filled with His amazing grace, provides all the peace we seek. Look no more, you have found it!
Where do you need to focus your attention to God and not the world? Where are the places in your heart you need peace? Invite Him in today. Selah.
