Scripture(s) of the Day: Where’s Your Focus

Matthew 14:29 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!”

Notice, when Peter saw his circumstances and surroundings, he began to sink into his situation or problem instead of walking on top of his situation. God has given us authority, victory through Jesus, and guidance by the Holy Spirit to dominate and overcome every one of our problems. When we focus more on our situation or problem and take our focus off of God, we become slaves to our situation or problem.

That’s why the Bible encourages us to walk by faith and not by sight. God wants us to keep our focus on Him and our faith in His word instead of our situation or problem. The more we focus on God, the quicker our situation or problem ends.

2 Corinthians 5:7 We live by faith, not by sight.

“I’m not moved by what I see, only by what I believe”
