“And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.”
Matthew 14:28-29 KJV
It’s easy to be so afraid of making a mistake that you never get around to stepping out on faith. You can spend all your time wondering. Is this faith? Or is it presumption? What if I exercise my faith for something and find out later I’ve missed God’s will?
Don’t worry, God can handle any mistake you make. If you act on the word out of sincerity in your heart and you steadfastly stay with the Word, Jesus will never let you down no matter how many mistakes you make. He proved that the night Peter jumped out of the boat in the middle of the lake.
Peter hadn’t been praying or seeking God’s will before he jumped out. On impulse he just blurted out, “Lord, if it’s You, bid me come.“
It’s better to risk being presumptuous than to waste your life in the boat of unbelief! Don’t let fear keep you from taking that step of faith. Come on, get out of the boat today!
Shalom!
