Blessings Of The One Who Really Is The Son Of God

 

…So Peter went over the side of the boat

and walked on the water toward Jesus.

But when he saw the strong wind and the waves,

he was terrified and began to sink.

“Save me, Lord!” he shouted.

Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him.

“You have so little faith,” Jesus said.

“Why did you doubt me?”

When they climbed back into the boat,

the wind stopped.

Then the disciples worshiped him.

“You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.

Matthew 13:29-32

Blessings of the One Who Rescues Us

…the disciples were in trouble far away from land,
 
for a strong wind had risen,
 
and they were fighting heavy waves.
 
About three o’clock in the morning,
 
Jesus came toward them,
 
walking on the water.
 
When the disciples saw him walking on the water,
 
they were terrified.
 
In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!”
 
But Jesus spoke to them at once,
 
“Don’t be afraid,” he said.
 
“Take courage. I am here!”
 
Matthew 14:24-27

Blessings of Choosing Life

 

Today I have given you the choice between life and death,

between blessings and curses.

Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make.

Oh, that you would choose life,

so that you and your descendants might live!

You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God,

obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him.

This is the key to your life…

Deuteronomy 30:19-20
