Jesus Walks on Water

I'm fascinated by the fact that Jesus didn't calm the storm before He told Peter to come. He asked him to come while the storm raged. There have been stormy times in my life when I have cried out to God, asking Him to part the seas or calm the storm. But I felt in my spirit He was asking me to come and walk on water in the midst of it all. He wanted me to walk through the storm with Him as my focus. I wanted God to calm the storm, and He wanted to teach me to focus on Him through the storm, the sustainer of my soul (Ps. 54.5).

Questions for Reflection

• What storms do you see around you?
• What "boat" is Jesus inviting you to get out of?
• Are you waiting for Him to calm the storm or calm you, and why?
