Welcome to The Road2Wholeness Blog. Thanks for taking the stroll with us today. We continue with our "P" series, The Precision of God.
Today we go to Matthew 14:29. It reads, "Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on water, and came toward Jesus. In this scripture it's hard to budget your faith if you are seeing two stories. If Peter's story is separate from Jesus' story we'll never find our faith. Faith in the bible is represented by a Hall of Faith, but it's really authored and fully known through Jesus' walk. Faith in the scripture is destructible except for the Lord Jesus. In the scripture where Peter walks on water, it is the presence of the Lord that makes it possible. Surely, Peter never had a consideration to walk on water before, but the Lord said come.
In the story, after a while it becomes Peter walking toward the Lord, but really Peter is walking on water with the help of the Lord and His command. When Jesus says 'Oh ye of little faith', it appears that we should still applaud Peter or think distinctly about what he accomplished, but it is the Lord that says, "Oh ye of little faith" and He is saying this because Peter takes his eyes off of Him and begins to sink. The Lord is already walking on water and He knows that it is not monumental but possible for Peter, a disciple, to walk on water. The Lord showed what could be done in order to inspire Peter's faith. Therefore can we see the true story of faith? Can we see that it is the Lord's examples and commands that is there to empower us; much like we learned that His prayers also empowers our faith? Today look around at the Lords' examples and listen for His commands.
Remember to go within that you may never go without. The God within you awaits you. Until our paths collide again, I wish you.. Peace, Love, Life, and Complete Hearing in Christ.
In Service,
