Closer Than We Know
From the incident of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14:22-33, I sometimes ponder over how close was Peter to Jesus when he began to sink. If Jesus could reach out his hand to Peter to pull him out of water, wouldn’t Peter be just next to Jesus? Was Peter aware that the One who had been walking on water was just next to him? Or was Peter so fixated on the storms that he didn’t even realise that the One who called him to the water was just an arm’s length away?
This account reminds me of another incident in John 18:38 when Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?” Wasn’t it ironic that Pilate asked about truth when Truth was right in front of him? How often we fail to realise that God is so close to us. In fact, God’s Spirit dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16). But like Peter, oftentimes we choose to fix our gaze on the storms instead.
Folks, let’s choose to fix our eyes on Jesus. Circumstances around us are never too overwhelming for the Lord. God is closer to us more than we know it ourselves.
