IN OVER YOUR HEAD?

BIBLE PASSAGE:
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
(John 16:33)

MEDITATION:
The will of God will never take you where the grace of God cannot keep you.
His power is ever-present in your life as His child.
If you could have been there in the days of His fleshly appearance,
wouldn’t you have wanted to see Him walk across the sea and calm the waves?

How awesome would it have been to see His kingly form
with the wind in His hair, putting His footsteps on the sea,
smiling at the storm with His garments billowing back.
It creates a calming visual, doesn’t it?

Before the disciples saw Him walking on the water, what was their biggest problem?
It was the water, wasn’t it?
They were fearful of its power and might drowning them in the deep.
But with His response to the storm, Jesus, in essence was reminding them that,
“What looks like something that will be over your head, is already under My feet.”

ACTION:
What are some problems that are drowning you in fear,
or in discouragement, or in sadness today?
Give them to Jesus.
Remember that whatever seems over your head, is under His feet.

Pray,
“Lord, thank You for always being there when I need You. No problem
I face is too big for You to handle. Whatever tries to discourages me is
never higher than Your feet. Thank You for taking me places I would not
have gone without Your leading, and sometimes prodding me. Your grace
makes it possible for me to have the courage to follow You, because I have
confidence in knowing that You are walking beside me. Help me to always
be a positive influence to those along the path You have chosen for me.”
