" When the disciples saw him, they screamed in terror, thinking he was a ghost."
Matt 14:26
In our own circumstances we often perceive what is not. Seeing what we chose to see and failing to acknowledge what really is the greatest failure of humanity. We become fear stricken by our losses, diagnosis, and hopelessness.
The disciples saw the storm but did not recognize the one who could calm the storm. They had just seen their Lord as provider by feeding the multitude , yet they failed to see their Protector.
Behind every ghost in our lives, our Provider and Protector can be found. He gave Peter a way out by trusting Him. Peter walked on victory until he looked at his ghost, the high waves and the winds, and then began to sink.
Look behind every ghost in your life and you will find the strong arms of the Lord outstretched and inviting you to trust Him.
