This morning, as I was pondering the journey God has taken me down over the past several days.... looking at all the different times and places that God called individuals to "walk" in the scriptures. Yesterday, we finished looking at the passage in Matthew when God encouraged Peter to walk on water. As I reflected deeper on that, it hit me that Jesus saved Peter from the raging waters as well as his growing doubts and fears. It was a "saving moment", but there were so many more before and yet to come. You see, we so often say to others that we were saved at a certain age in our lives, but reality is that Jesus saved us from our past, saves us today, and will save us in the days ahead.
He saves us from the thoughts that torment and the guilt that plagues us. He saves us from saying something that would be hurtful. He saves us from prison of sinful repercussions. He saves us daily through circumstances and events that often slip past us unnoticed. He does this continually and therefore we need not worry in regards to the future. He has faithfully does this in the past and revealed just how capable He is. You see, a life in Christ is just that... a life... so entwined in Christ that all our moments have His reflection in them.
What struggle is pulling at you today? If you are a child of the King, have no worries because just as He saved you in the beginning, just as He saved you in past events, just as He saved you last week, He will save you from this struggle today- just give it to Him. Allow Him to fill your hands with His purpose and plan for you today. Let today be another of countless "saving moments" in your life- it will bring Him joy. It will bring you freedom.
Blessings today!
