Walking on Water
Where ever you go, ask Jesus to bid you to come.
Jesus Walks on the Water
22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but the boat by this time was a long way[a] from the land,[b] beaten by the waves, for the wind was against them. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night[c] he came to them, walking on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” and they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”
28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind,[d] he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

The account of Jesus walking on water is more than a miraculous event; it serves as a profound lesson on faith and divine assurance. As believers face daily trials, this story illustrates the importance of keeping our gaze on Christ, even in turbulent times. Peter's experience reflects our own struggles; stepping out of our comfort zones is often daunting. Yet, in doing so, we unlock extraordinary possibilities. Jesus calls out to us, inviting us to trust Him completely. This narrative resonates with anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by life's challenges, encouraging us to lean on our faith. In navigating our personal storms, we are reminded that doubt may arise, but it is through our trust in Jesus that we find peace and strength. When we falter, like Peter, we can call out to Him, and He is always ready to reach out with His hand of grace. This story emphasizes that true faith is not the absence of fear but the decision to trust God despite it. As you journey through life, reflect on Jesus's words, “Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.” Allow this promise to guide you toward a deeper, more resilient faith.
