STEP INTO THE WATERS

Scripture:  Matthew 14:28, 29, “And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he
said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.”

     Sometime along the way, we will be called on to just step out by faith, fully trusting Him!  When that time comes, we may not understand completely what His will is.  We may not even be able to comprehend exactly what He has in mind, but we can be assured that He knows exactly what He’s doing!  Others may not understand, but we will know it’s the absolute perfect will of God for
our lives.  Family and friends may think we’re crazy, but in our heart we just know that God is leading and we must follow.  
    When that day comes, will we be ready for what He has in store?  It may just be the best thing that has ever happened to you!  But are we ready?  When that times comes, will we be willing to step out by faith and follow Him?  
    Was Peter ready in our text verse?  We must give him credit for at least being willing to take that first step! Jesus said “Come” and Peter stepped out and walked on the water!  But verse 30 tells us that He got His eyes off of Jesus and on to the circumstances (the waves) and he began to sink.  When He began to sink He cried out to the Lord to save him and the Lord did!
    We miss so much in this story by not realizing that Peter actually did walk on the water!  He was willing to take that first step and
when he did the waters solidified under his feet.  Do you have that kind of faith?  Is your faith strong enough to allow you to walk on the waters?  Do you even have enough faith to get out of the boat?
