It’s in the hardest moments when our faith is tested, when we are in turmoil what we stand on is what keeps us afloat.
God is our rock, our firm foundation and if we trust Him in our hardest moments even when we feel like we’re in the depths. We can stand against all odds.
Because God is what supports us, we can walk upon the water in the midst of the storm.
Unknown territory can be scary. When God asks us to venture where we’ve never been or do something new it can be intimidating.
That’s where faith comes in. When we know God, we know His character, we know who He is, we know that we can trust Him.
Jesus asked Peter to get out of the boat and to walk out on the water to Him. Something that we all would have a hard time doing. But he knew Jesus and he knew that if Jesus told him to take that step of faith that He would provide all he needed to do what Jesus asked of him.
It was only when Peter changed his focus from Jesus to the storm around him that he began to sink. Fixing his eyes back on Jesus brought him back upon the water.
What has Jesus asked you to take a step of faith in? Have you taken it and lost your way. Fix your eyes back on Him, and trust that He will provide what you need to walk on the water with Him.
Resting in the presence of God is what gives you the trust to walk on water.
How else to would you build that trust.
You wouldn’t do something deemed impossible without some sort of faith in the one who asked you. But where does that faith come from.
It comes from spending time with God, from resting in His presence, from just being content to be with Him. Because you know Him, and you know His character. You can trust Him when He asks you to take those big leaps of faith that to others seem impossible.
Listen to this song and take some time to rest in His presence, and let Him lead you to walk on water.
