Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 2nd July 2026, Thursday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Pulling Others Up
And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him.
Matthew 14:31
RECOMMENDED READING: Matthew 14:22-33
Logan Hayes was stuck in traffic on Interstate 95 when he noticed a vehicle sinking in a nearby pond. He leaped from his car and jumped in the water. A panicked woman was stuck in the front seat. Logan pulled her out and swam her fifty feet to shore. The woman was pregnant, and hours after the rescue she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. One unselfish act, two lives saved!
It’s important to keep our eyes open for drowning people. They may be drowning in debt, drowning in sorrow, or drowning in sin. When Peter was sinking beneath the waves, Jesus reached down and pulled him up. Later Peter stretched out his hand to a lame man, pulled him to his feet, and the man began walking and leaping and praising God (Acts 3:7-8).
The same Jesus who knew how to pull Peter from the overwhelming waves can empower us to pull people from their bad places in life. As we attempt to live our lives as Christ did, we have the responsibility of looking out for the interests of others. Ask Him to show you ways to pull others up.
