Fearless: A Six-Week Journey Halimbawa

Week 1: The Wind and the Waves

THE WATER OF HIS WORD
Read Matthew 14:22-33.

The disciples did not want to leave and get into the boat. They didn’t understand why Jesus was sending them away. And then they found themselves in the midst of a great storm and He was nowhere in sight. Recall a time when you have not understood why God was allowing something to happen.

WALK ON TRUTH
Since Jesus is fully God and fully man, He would have known that He was sending the disciples out into a storm and into a very difficult situation. Are you in a “storm” or a difficult situation right now? Do you know someone who is? What is most perplexing to you about the situation? Have you ever considered that the Lord would not only allow you to head straight for a storm but might have sent you right into it? Bring your thoughts and feelings to the Lord as you read Psalm 40.

FOCUS THE EYES OF YOUR HEART
Quietly recite today’s focus passage. Hide it in your heart, meditate on it, and make it your prayer throughout the day.

Matthew 14:31-33
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
