Take Courage


When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!”  And they cried out in fear. 

But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”

Matthew 14:26-27

There are times when we are frightened by what the future may hold.  Things are not going the way we think they should.  We become paralyzed by the ghosts of what may happen if things do not change.

It is in these times that we need to remember that we may not see the hand of God at work, but it is.  What we see as impending disaster, God sees as an opportunity to reveal His glory. 

We take courage knowing that God is in control and we have nothing to fear.
