Walk on Water
Matthew 14:29 (The Message)
He said, “Come ahead.”
Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus. But when he looked down at the waves churning beneath his feet, he lost his nerve and started to sink. He cried, “Master, save me!”
This morning at the men’s Discipleship group, we were talking about what does grace mean to you in your life, and we went a bit further and started to talk about the supernatural things that God does.
While we were talking about there things, and talking about some really amazing testimonies, I couldn’t stop thinking about a scene in ‘The Shack’, where the main character walked with Jesus across a lake, on the water, and when they were set to return, he tried it on his own, only to start to sink. The scene culminates where Jesus takes his hand, and he rises to the surface, with Jesus saying, you see, it is easier if you do this with Me.
This got me thinking on my way to work, on how does this apply to me personally, and all I can say is, I try too many times to do things on my own, and with my own power…
Another thing is, how often do you really trust the Lord to do a miracle for you or through you? We as humans are so scared of the supernatural, and we often try to just rather not talk about it, and maybe we won’t be confronted by it all, but the fact of the matter is, there is a constant spiritual battle going on, and if we are not aware of it, we won’t be able to fight Satan when he decides to attack us.
I really think we should focus on Jesus, and go and sit in Him, and just allow Him to take the reigns in our life, and we will most definitely be surprised by what He does for and through us.
