Jesus walks on the water...

[Matthew 14:22-36]

Jesus Walks on the Water

22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

25During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.

27But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."

28"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."

29"Come," he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"

31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

32And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down.

33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret.

35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him

36and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

This story has really reminded me lots and lots of things... 1) Have to take courage (that's what god told bryan to tell me and wei en), like peter have at least that little faith in God, that's why he chose to go on the water right? 2) Take the first step, God will do the rest - Peter took the first step of getting out of that boat.. If He has never step out of the boat, he can never walk on the water.. When you experience God's power, you can then do more things, greater things for God.. 3) Trust in God in all circumstances.. Be it rain/wind in verse 30.. Or any other things.. Trust God.. (This is what i have to grow in..) When you trust God fully, submit to Him completely, He can then bless you more! I want more blessings from God =) *greedy* *greedy* 4) We can clear our doubts if we depend on God, for God will defeat the evil ones.. (Satan, go back home! Don't come here! Shoo!) Satan so bad la.. Keep spoiling my plans de.. Grrr...
