Devotional- Your Last Thread By Romelle Greenidge

"And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" Matthew 14:29-31

There are many interesting things about this passage of scripture, so many lessons to be learnt.

But I want to focus on the point of how God responds when we as his people believe we are on our "last thread". Let's go back to the text, Peter, because of who he is, asked Jesus to allow him to come hence allowing him to walk on water as well. As the scripture goes on to say when Peter saw the boisterous wind, he was afraid and began to sink. The next part is quite significant, Peter cried "Lord Save me" and IMMEDIATELY, Jesus stretched forth His hand and caught him. 

Now picture it, Peter is beginning to sink, but the waters have not consumed him as yet, he hasn't drowned but he's at a place where he is desperate, where all his natural resources have been spent and he needs something pass the natural, so he cried out to God and is immediately saved. I believe this is a situation many of us are going through today, where we are on our last thread, our resources are gone, in ourselves we do not know where to turn but I STRONGLY believe when we reach this point and we cry out to our Saviour, He is compelled to move to reach out that arm and grab hold of His people. 

I want to encourage you today that the fight is not over, as long as the waters have not consumed you, there's still life and with life there's hope and with that hope I tell you to make that cry to God with the understanding that nothing you can do in yourself can take you any further and also understanding that the compassionate God we serve will not allow that "last thread" to run out, He will turn up and allow you to have a testimony of victory over that test you passed through. Be encouraged today, the battle is not over.  

Spread this as it could be an encouragement to someone else. I believe God is speaking.
