WOW - Walking on Water

A lesson that we can learn from the familiar event in the Bible.. 

Matt14 : 25-32 [Amp]

25 And in the fourth watch [between 3 - 6am] of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea

26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified and said, It is a ghost! And they screamed out with fright

27 But instantly He spoke to them, saying, Take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid!

28 And Peter answered Him, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water

29 He said, Come! So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water, and he came toward Jesus 

30 But when he perceived and felt the strong wind, he was frightened, and as he began to sink, he cried out, Lord, save me [from death]

31 Instantly Jesus reached out His hand and caught and held him, saying to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?

32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

 

Let's ponder :

1. What is my boat [fear and comfort that keep me from trusting God]

2. Discernment in order to get out of the boat

3. Risk to take for faith to grow?

4. Failure from past that haunts us

5. Where am I in relation to Jesus

     a. Huddled in the boat

     b. One leg in, one leg out

     c. WOW

     d. Out of the boat, but the wind looks bad
