Focus and listen
This week’s children’s worship lesson was a fabulous reminder to all of us. We must focus on Jesus and listen to Him.
The story is told in Matthew 14 when Jesus walks on the water toward the disciples’ boat. Peter sees Jesus and calls out to Him for an invitation to join Jesus. Peter begins walking on the water towards Jesus but is overwhelmed by the wind and the waves and loses his focus on Jesus; therefore, he begins to sink into the water.
Uh oh! Now he’s getting wet. What to do? Jesus puts out his hand for Peter to hold and Jesus pulls him safely into the boat. The storm then stops.
We need to remember to focus on Jesus and listen to Him. When we forget to focus or get too busy and overwhelmed with other things and don’t listen to Him, we can know that Jesus’ hand is sticking out for us to hold; we must remember to reach our hand out and grab His hand.
