Will You Stand?

Some of our greatest adversities come upon us when we least expect it. Things could be going just as "planned," as you planned, and BAM........ Something hits us and knocks us off of our feet. 

But it's these times that we must reach out to the greater one, on the inside of us, and trust that He will see us through. 

I always think about Peter and when he was at the very brink of walking completely on water (because you know he did walk a little bit right?) it was in that defining moment of his life that he stopped and questioned Christ with the very thing that He had already been doing for him. 

"Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. "30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,”he said, “why did you doubt?” - Matt 14:30-31

Peter walked on the water and the minute he doubted, he started to sink. BUT GOD (say, "But God") but He reached down and caught him as the word says which is proof that even in our unbelief, God is still there, even when we started the walk but could not finish, He reaches out and helps us. He said that He is "an ever present help in the time of need". What more could you ask for? 

Today, I don't know what you're going through, I don't know what odds are against you, what the devil is using to persecute you........I don't know.......BUT I promise you that if you stand, on God's word and the promises that He has for you, I promise you that just like He reached out and saved Peter, so will He do for you. 

Will You Stand??
