We all know the lesson. When Peter stepped out of the boat, he could walk on water just like Jesus - until he looked around him and got his eyes off of the Lord. His faith disappeared and fear and the "knowledge" that walking on water is impossible, made him sink.
Then he called to Jesus and Jesus rescued him.
I couldn't even count the times I have floundered in the sea of circumstances. Illness, financial troubles, daily troubles and trials come to the front and sometimes I feel overwhelmed. It happens to all of us.
The lesson, and it seems to be one we often forget, is simply to quit looking at those things that overwhelm us.They don't have the final say. None of those things are solidly real and unmoveable.
There is only One Who is.
