SINK OR SWIM

Peter was a risk taker, a man of action and boldness. When he saw Jesus walking on water, he wanted to join him. As long as he kept his eyes on Jesus, he too walked on water. But when Peter noticed the fierce wind, fear overcame his faith.
      To his credit, Peter recognized the One to turn to when things went wrong. He didn't try to swim for the boat. He cried out to Jesus to save him & the Lord responded immediately, and when Peter was safe in his arms, Jesus urged his eager disciple to grow even more in faith.
This loving correction encouraged Peter to keep steeping out in faith, even at the risk of getting into more "deep water." As a result, he developed into a man to whom Jesus could entrust responsibility for building his church (Mathew 16:18)
How willing are we to take risks for Jehovah? Let us ask him in prayers to increase our faith so we can willingly step out when he calls us do something difficult for him.
Happy Sunday my friends!
