Walk on Stormy Waters

Matthew 14:26-33

26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

27 But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

28 "Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
29 "Come," he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."



Jesus walks on the stormy waters and He tells Peter to come join Him on the water.Peter is able to take a few steps and then he shifts his focus from Christ to the stormy waters and begins to sink. After crying out to Christ for help he gets rescued and is asked "why did you doubt?"

To me this is like everyday life challenges. We tend to be more like Peter,and we are only able to walk a few steps before we sink in these challenges,only to be asked by Christ "why did you doubt?"
Now do you think that if Peter had focused on Christ, would he have sank? i doubt it. So when the troubles come my friend be like Christ bcause we are born again and washed by His Blood, to be able to overcome challenges and walk on water, trample over snakes and scorpions (luke 10:19
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you). Therefore we are to use our authority given by Christ to bend circomstances and let them bow down to the name of Jesus, for Christ is in us and we are in Christ.

So friend i encourage you to walk on stormy waters because you have the authority to do so.
