And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come”. And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. Matthew 14:28-29

 

Today’s scripture comes from the popular story of Jesus walking on the water to meet His disciples who are in the middle of the sea, in a boat. Peter seeing Jesus, wants to experience the miracle of walking on the water. As the story goes, he begins to walk on the water, but the waves distract His vision of Jesus and he looses his confidence, thus he sinks. Thankfully Jesus reaches down and saves him, and asks “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

 

Every day Jesus asks you to walk on the water of faith and trust with Him. One of the most challenging things for a Christian is to maintain personal faith and focus on Jesus. This world has so many distractions, especially with social media and all the technologies of the world, it can be hard to build confidence in what Jesus asks of you. But, you must not allow the things of this world to hinder the very thing given to you, faith! The sacrifice of Jesus Christ is the one act of love that should keep you committed to living out your faith every day.

 

Oh taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Psalm 34:8

 

Jesus is asking you to step out of your comfort zone and trust Him today, and every day. You can do it! Trust Him with each committed step and He will bless your journey through this foreign land. Walk by faith, not by sight. God bless!
