PLEASE READ THIS FIRST: Matthew 14
What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?
“He was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, ‘Lord, save me!'” (Matthew 14:30)
Right now I am feeling a lot like Peter.
When I first decided to leave ministry, I was confident.
But now as time passes and I see the uncertainty, I am sinking.
My head is not under water yet, but I can feel the water in my face.
“‘You of little faith,’ he said, ‘why did you doubt?'” (Matthew 14:31)
I know why he doubted, because he was doing something stupid.
You don’t walk on water, you don’t quit your job without other work lined up.
Yeah, I admit it, my faith is little, and I am doubting.
But at least like Peter I am crying out to Jesus.
I am waiting for his hand, like a lifeline, to grab me before I sink.
I get Peter right now, and I can hardly blame him for doubting.
But I keep waiting for Jesus to reach out and catch me.
Faith is not seeing, but hoping for what you cannot see (Hebrews 11:1).
I cannot see his hand yet, but I keep waiting for it!
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, anytime now.
