Matthew 14:29 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
Life is full of surprises.
We know this because we have all had them at one time or another. Things are going great and then, bam, a storm hits!
During such storms we may be called out to take bigger steps of faith.
Think about Peter. The sea was raging when Jesus called Him out of the boat. It was boisterous!
It wasn’t in the calm waters when He said, “come.”
Peter stepped out of that boat onto that rough sea and He walked on that water.
Maybe you are in a place right now where the storm is strong in your life, and you are very scared.
Have you cried out for Jesus to help you? And when you did, did He say, “Come!”?
Matthew 14:30 (NKJV) 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
Yes, those steps He has us take can be scary; steps we never thought we would have to take, and in places we never thought we would touch down on.
Brother and sister, just as He extended His hand to Peter when his faith grew weak, He will extend it to us. Latch onto it tightly. He will catch us.
Matthew 14:31 (NKJV) 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
No more doubting; keep walking.
Dear God,
I am in a storm today and I need your hand to catch me. I’m trying to take the steps You want for me, but I’m tired and I need Your help.
Forgive me, Lord, and give me strength to keep walking.
My spirit is willing, buy my flesh is weak.
Matthew 26:41 (NKJV) 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
In Jesus' name. Amen
