Walk

"So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" )Matthew 14:29, 30)

 

Sometimes we too are like Peter step out beginning in faith, we are bold to enter the rough waters in the midst of a storm. We might be the only one who took that BOLD step to step out, it  might be a lonely place, and God gives us His Word to call us to make that step. Our acquaintances and our relatives may not be there or even our peers, they may be content with being in the boat…but we will HEAR HIS voice and step out in faith. And our faith might be so strong that we pay no attention to the voices around us… 

Just as we think we are doing OK in the storm, there is a BIG chance that we may look at the boisterous waves around us. If we only remain in faith we will stay TALL during a storm. If we loose our focus we will lose our faith and fear may defeat us to even lead to a point of sinking. But, there is again a lesson we learn from Peter instead of living in fear, he again got back on track with CHRIST! When we set our focus off CHRIST and when we are about to sink, REMEMBER to get back on TRACK, ask GOD for another chance. If we ever begin to sink, stir up that faith and call out to OUR LORD again. We read that Jesus rebuked Peter HE reached out and pulled Peter up so he could continue in his walk of faith.

When we step out in faith let us keep our ears and eyes open only to the Lord and don't let any negative voices, disbelief, or stormy circumstances drown out the first voice of the Lord we heard.  Remember there will be storms in life but Christ will always be there for us. Let us look to Him, ask Him what to do, and when He does confidently step out in faith and walk in the Spirit. If we make a mistake to fall remember to call upon the Lord, correct our ways to continue our walk in Christ for HE is coming soon!
