Have you ever stepped out in "blind faith" and said yes to something crazy that God called you to do? The valley of decision can be long and difficult, so when we finally take that step of saying yes, we can expect everything to come together almost instantly on the other side.
But, when God calls you to get out of the boat, to walk on the water with him--you can't expect to step out onto solid ground. Water will never be concrete. Why are we surprised at the raging waves that at any moment could sweep us under? The circumstances in life are never going to be sure. Our plans are never going to go off without a hitch. After all, we're trying to walk on water. But if we keep our eyes focused on his, we can walk across even the most tempestuous waters, as if they were simply solid ground.
Peter said, "Lord, if it really you, then command me to come to you on the water." Jesus said, "Come." And Peter left the boat and walked on the water to Jesus (Matthew 14:28-29, NCV).
Lord, keep my eyes locked on you so that when I step out in faith in response to your calling, I will walk on even the most difficult waters as if my feet were planted on solid ground.
