Looking deeply at bible verses day 1. Matthew 14:28-31 ‘Peter spoke up ‘Lord if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you’ ‘Come!’ Jesus answered. Peter got out the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind , he was afraid and started to sink down in the water.’Save me Lord’ he cried. At once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him saying’How little faith you have! Why did you doubt?’ This passage demonstrates the importance of faith. When peter had a true faith in the Lord he was able to walk on the water with his eyes set on Jesus, reflecting how we should live our lives with our lives dedicated to God. However, when the wind, which for us is the distractions in out life and our sinful desires(laziness, idolatry, lust etc), overwhelms us, our faith is weakened and we can no longer live on that path to Jesus but instead we sink and begin to drown. This demonstrates how if we DEDICATE our lives to Jesus we can flee from all evil temptations and live in righteousness with the gift of strength from God. Thank you all who have read this and I hope you have a blessed day!

Hebrews 12:1-2

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith."
