The disciple Peter gives us a picture of what happens when fear dominates our decision making. One night while Peter and the other disciples were in a boat, Jesus came to them by walking on the water. Peter said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water” (Matt. 14:28). When Jesus invited him to come, Peter got out of the boat and started walking toward Jesus on the water. Suddenly, however, Peter’s focus shifted from Jesus to the wind and waves around him. Remember, what you focus on, you feel—and what Peter felt was fear. It paralyzed him. He began to sink until he cried out for help and Jesus rescued him.

One minute, Peter stepped out in faith in pursuit of his destiny and was standing on the water with Jesus. The next minute, he was focused on fear and sinking like a rock. When his focus changed, his circumstances changed.

Do you sometimes allow fear to drive your decisions? It doesn’t have to be that way. Tenacity and a focus on God’s future for you will enable you to overcome your fears. As we’re about to see, it’s a matter of perspective.
