Run On Water

Matthew 14 talks about when Jesus and Peter walked on water. Sometimes people focus on the fact that Peter lost his faith, began to sink, and had to return to the boat prematurely. Personally, I find it incredibly admirable that Peter even trusted Jesus enough to request to step out on the water. In your life, has The Lord told you to take a step of faith and to leave the safety of your "boat"? I heard a friend say that they wanted to have faith to run on water. That means abandoning all reason, trusting God's plan with their whole heart, and believing the "impossible". That's my prayer for myself and you as well. Run on water. Happy Monday!

"Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Romans 5:1 

Oceans by Hillsong is based off of Matthew 14 as well.

Confirmation and Gut-checks

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Hebrews 13:8

Have you ever been praying about something and God gives you confirmation? Not just once, but multiple times? For me, there were about 5-6 separate occasions within a three day timespan. You would think I would get the memo, but still I found myself using reason to not trust God and step out on faith. You already know I was gut-checked by the Holy Spirit :) We have to remember that God's promises are still applicable today. He's the constant factor in our lives that we can always count on. Are you trusting in him or yourself? 

"And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10
