There’s something arresting about the image of a stormy sea—waves crashing, winds howling, and uncertainty swirling. In such moments, fear can feel all-consuming, and the world around us seems too vast, too powerful to conquer. Yet, in the midst of that chaos, one truth remains:
No wave is bigger than the One who walks on water.
This quote, rooted in the biblical account of Jesus walking on the Sea of Galilee, is more than a poetic phrase. It’s a reminder of divine authority over chaos. In Matthew 14, the disciples are caught in a storm, struggling to keep their boat afloat. Then Jesus appears—not in a boat, not from the sky—but walking on the very thing that threatened to drown them.
Walking on water.
It’s an image that flips fear on its head. Waves that overwhelm us are under His feet. The winds that shake our resolve are calmed by His word. It’s not that the storms cease to exist, but that they never define the outcome when He is near.
Waves We Face Today
The “waves” we encounter aren’t always literal. They may look like:
A sudden job loss A health crisis Struggles with anxiety or depression Family tensions Doubts that whisper, “You won’t make it this time”
And yet, for every crashing wave, we’re invited to shift our gaze from the storm to the Savior.
Faith doesn’t always calm the storm immediately. Sometimes, it calms the soul first. When Peter stepped out of the boat to meet Jesus, he too walked on water—until fear took over. His sinking didn’t signify failure; it became a lesson: when we focus on the wave, we sink. When we fix our eyes on the One who walks on water, we rise.
What This Means for You
When life feels out of control, remember:
You are not alone in the boat—God is watching, walking, and reaching. You were never meant to master the storm by yourself—but to trust the One who already has. No circumstance, no fear, no failure is bigger than His grace and power.
This isn’t just theology—it’s hope with legs. It’s courage in motion. It’s your invitation to step out, even if the sea isn’t calm yet.
So, whatever wave you’re facing today, don’t shrink back. Look up. Step forward. And remember—no wave is bigger than the One who walks on water.
