 Matthew 14:28-29

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

As a child of God, your faith is like a lifeboat, meant to keep you afloat in this life, even when you encounter a horrible life event, meant to drown your hopes and dreams. I believe many of us know and trust God for everything we need and face in life, but there's a little sliver of doubt that stays kindled in the back of your mind when your earthly understanding hinders your faith. Just like Peter, he knew if Jesus told him to get out of the boat and walk on water, he could do it. But, once the waves overcame his trust to walk on water, he sank. Thankfully Jesus was there to pull him to safety. 

Maybe you are like Peter, you have a close relationship with Jesus and have faith and trust in Him, but you lack the confidence to step out of the boat when you fear the unknown or your faith minimizes the trust of what He's calling you to do. Friend, don't miss the opportunity for God to show you what a mustard seed of faith can do when you confidently step out of your comfort zone and allow the power of God to work in and through you to accomplish His perfect will. You can do it with His help. Trust Him today, and everyday, as you step out in faith to do the work of the Lord.
