God bless!
Have you ever found yourself doubting the existence of God in your situations? Have you thought maybe He forgot about you and lost track of what is going on in your life? I know many of us won't acknowledge we do this at times and that's fine but from the mouth of this Pastor I will say there has been many times that I have found myself in doubt. Why? I guess it’s because I'm human and if at least one of you can relate to my shortcomings and share in them then maybe the rest of this message will encourage you to push forward. Yes I've doubted, yes I've been scared but during all of these times I always return to the source of my Strength, God. Just because I lose track of my eyes doesn't mean I forget Him totally. In the verse today, the disciples doubted it was Him because His manifestation was supernatural and they were stuck on the natural manifestation. So Jesus went a step further and when He noticed their doubt He spoke into them. Today He speaks into us, He says I AM in your situation, I AM in your job, I AM in your marriage, I AM in your church, etc. You and I are not on the boat alone, He is with us! Though at times we stray and at times we run He wants us to know He is a simple prayer away and wants us to join Him at His table. I leave you today with two words: Take Courage! He is with you and He has promised to bless you. Let this devotional speak into you today and walk away in victory and assurance that "I AM" is with you!

But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid! [Exod. 3:14.] (Matthew 14:27 AMP)
