Can you imagine if in our lives if there was so much STUFF going on around us? I mean family issues, or work issues, or health issues, or fear and frustrations? How hard is that to imagine? Honestly it probably isn't that difficult for many of us. The daily storms that we battle through!! There are so many things in our life that become so powerful that we begin to question the strength of our own structure. Yet we often find ourselves seeing all of this Storm damage and not really seeing that Jesus is right there.
Here is your stone!!
"But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” "(Matthew 14:27 NIV).
In the middle of all of the elements of a storm. Peter took a step, not a blind step, but he saw Jesus there in the middle of it. The same Jesus who can calm the storms and make them go away, can also allow that storm to help you take a step of faith and grow forward. What ever storms we are facing and seeing today, may not calm down right now, but in taking a step out and placing the trust in Him and not a man made solution (our boat) you change the focus from the noise maker to the Creator.
