“Choose Faith Over Fear: Step Into God’s Grace and Walk With Jesus”

Every fear that grips our hearts begins the moment we take our eyes off Jesus. When we turn to experts, opinions, the news, or social media to feed our souls, we end up starving the very faith God wants to strengthen. Nothing in this world can nourish us like the true Bread of Life.

God is asking us today: What are you looking at—the size of your need or the greatness of your Provider? When we stare at the problem, we feel overwhelmed. When we stare at our limitations, we feel defeated. But when we lift our eyes to Jesus, we remember that His supply is limitless and His love never ends.

Scripture says, “Give thanks to the Lord for His grace endures forever.” Many translations use words like “kindness,” “steadfast love,” or “mercy.” But the heart of that word is grace—God’s unearned, undeserved favor flowing into our lives. Grace and truth aren’t two separate things; in Christ, they are one. True grace is truth, and that grace came to set us free.

The disciples struggled because they forgot to give thanks. They forgot to consider the miracle they had just witnessed—the feeding of the five thousand. God is calling us to do the opposite: to pause, to remember, and to live each day with a grateful heart. We are not in the days of God’s vengeance. We are in the days of His grace.

Psalm 107 reminds us that God satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry heart with goodness. When we are sick, discouraged, or at the edge of despair, He sends His Word and heals us. He delivers us from destruction. He calms the storm, quiets the waves, and leads us safely to our desired haven.

In Mark 6, the disciples faced the darkest hours of the night—between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.—when Jesus came walking on the water. Many have said this moment pictures the rapture, but Jesus’ movement here is something different. It is personal. It is intimate. It is a divine invitation.

Scripture says “He would have passed them by.” Not because He didn’t love them, but because He was drawing out their hearts: Do you truly want Me? Do you desire My presence? Jesus appeals to our affections, inviting us to know Him not out of duty, but out of love.

John understood this love. He called himself “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” That revelation strengthened his faith, sharpened his discernment, and drew him closer to Jesus than anyone else. When you know you are loved by God, you naturally run toward Him.

Jesus is making that same extraordinary movement today. In a world filled with storms, fear, and darkness, He is coming closer—appearing in ways that reveal His sovereignty over every wave. And He asks the same question: Do you want Me? Will you welcome Me? Just like in Laodicea, He knocks—not forcing His way in, but inviting us to open our hearts.

When the disciples willingly received Him into the boat, immediately they reached the shore. Time, distance, and limitation collapsed at His command. What followed next was an outpouring of revival—people running throughout the region, bringing the sick, the broken, the needy. And Scripture says, “As many as touched Him were made well.”

This is the picture of the coming move of God:
A personal touch. A personal encounter. A personal revival.
Everyone who reaches out in faith will be healed, restored, and renewed.

Even Peter experienced this when he stepped out onto the water. He walked toward Jesus until he shifted his focus to the wind and waves. Yet the moment he cried, “Lord, save me,” Jesus caught him. Even when our faith wavers, His grace holds us.

God is calling us to this same bold faith—to look beyond fear, step out of the boat, and walk toward Jesus. His grace is not reserved for the elite or the exceptionally holy. It is for every believer who dares to trust His love.

Today, God is after something simple and beautiful:
A grateful heart, anchored in His grace.
He is protecting you, providing for you, and carrying you—even when you feel undeserving. Your part is to believe, to give thanks, and to fix your eyes on Jesus.
