Is Peter’s God Your God?

Matthew 14:22-33 Jesus Walks on the Water
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Father, I thank you that you are God. You desire your people to do great things in this world for your glory. Getting out of the boat is not easy nor is it comfortable, but it can be done. We keep turning over the stones and walking through the open doors to discover our steps. One step at a time.
Faith says we can, fear says we can’t. We have so many social clubs, but what we need is to see the manifested power of Jesus Christ- according to Your Word.
Peter walked on the water and Jesus we want to walk on the water too. You are no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). All across this globe today turn over a stone, look for the door (opportunity) and see where you find Him. Step out and walk on the water. It’s time. Amen
Have a blessed day beautiful people. He holds your tomorrow.
