Ps 110:1 “Sit here until I put your enemies under your feet.”

Read Mt 14:22-33  V24 The boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.

When the wind is for us (in our back), it’s ‘plain sailing.’ The momentum is with us, we have the advantage; people, events, goals, fall neatly into place. When the wind is against us, (in our face) we meet opposition, enemies, problems and pressure!.

Such was the case with the disciples in the boat on Galilee. The wind was not only against them, it had stirred up great swelling waves.

When Jesus came walking on the water and Peter expressed the desire to do the same, Jesus said one word, “Come!” Peter got out of the boat and walked on water. As long as he kept his eyes on Jesus, the wind (opposition) no longer held him back. The waves (problems) were under his feet.

The moment he took his eyes off Jesus and looked at the wind (opposition), fear, anxiety and insecurity became a burden pressing him down, and he began to sink!

What opposition, what problems do you face today. If you will only keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, He will take you through what is against you.

Instead of problems crushing you, they will be under your feet, and you’ll find yourself walking on water!

The things against us are not stumbling-stones but stepping-stones to higher levels in God.

Rom 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us!

Phil 4:8 Meditate (think) on these things.
