Walking On Water!
February 26, 2011
"He walked on the water…to Jesus." Matthew 14:29 NKJV
The disciples were out fishing one night when a huge storm struck. About 3:00 a.m. they were terrified by a figure approaching them on the water. "Immediately Jesus spoke…’Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid’…Peter answered…’Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You’…So He said, ‘Come.’ And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water…to Jesus" (v. 27-29 NKJV). This story teaches us:
To experience miracles, you must get out of your comfort zone. Exchange places with Peter. The storm is raging and he’s afraid. The boat’s secure and comfortable—wouldn’t you want to stay there? But you can’t. God designed you to do more than simply avoid failure; He’s calling you to step out in faith and accomplish things. You say, "What’s my boat?" It’s anything you put your faith in when life gets stormy, like a job or a relationship. Your boat is anything that stops you from getting out of your comfort zone. Leaving it is the scariest, but most rewarding step you’ll ever take!
