YC 02/01/23 - Sinking Faith

psalm 121:1-4

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”

It might seem elementary, but sometimes we need to remind ourselves of the God that we serve...

Our God is faithful...

Our God is in charge...

Our God is compelled to Love us...

Matthew 14:22 - 26 *Set the stage*

Paraphrase 22 - 30

Matthew 14:31

“Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?””

This is why we worship God, because he’s faithful to us even while our faith is lacking.

Psalms 121:1-2

“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

We worship God because he continues to position his heart towards us, not abandoning us or rejecting us due to our insufficient faith.

Matthew 14:33

“And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.””

Peter worshiped while he was wet… Which was the evidence of his failure. He worshiped Jesus because of who he is.
