Walking On Water

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit;and they cried out for fear. But Jesus spoke to them saying, Be of good  cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  

 And Peter answered him and said, Lord if it is you, allow me to come to you on the water.  Jesus said , Come.  Peter got out of the boat and he walked on the water.  A strong wind came upon the water , it was boisterous and Peter became afraid. 

Peter's fear caused him to sink.  Peter cried , Lord save me. How often are we filled with confidence when we place our total faith in God.  We know that we can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us. 

Confidence elevates to great heights of hope when we trust God. As long as we focus on Christ we are more than conquerors.  It is that moment,... when the wind becomes boisterous that we sink into the slippery abyss of hopelessness and helplessness.   We become overwhelmed by what is happening around us instead of focusing on the power that holds us in provision and deliverance. 

So Peter began to sink...we all sink sometimes and we all have our moments where our faith is challenge when things seem hopeless.  However, the power in all of our sinking, the power in all our difficult life challenges, the power in all of our helpless moments, is  when we sink  into the waters of life because of  circumstances beyond our control...this hand that reached forth for Peter reaches for you.  This strong hand, this anointed hand, this healing hand, this guiding hand, this hand of grace and mercy reaches forth for you.

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him... (caught you)...and said unto him ...(you),... O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 

Can you walk on water?  What are the storms that surround you?  The hand of God is stretched forth towards you! The miracle is when you extend your hand toward his.

God hears...

You are not alone, it may appear that you are alone in a world of chaos and confusion. You seek peace. You seek to be understood. It appears that you have been forgotten and no one hears you. The way of the world as it is, creates anxiety and insecurity for you. Abandoned, forgotten, disenfranchised perhaps from the world as you see it.

Who cares, who hears?

Who will hear your cry? Who will hear your voice? Distractions and conscious deceptions. Imagine if you walked away from all that has robbed you of self before your creator.

That great abyss that you thought you placed between yourself and God. The abyss of separation. Your whisper, your faint voice cries even now...this very moment.

Your soul silently whispers...Be still and know that I am God.

Your illusions now become mere shadows and you deceive yourself no more. Do you remember that ancient whisper created of God. Do you? Hear it now.

Mediocrity is not your calling, doubt is not your path. Listen to that still small voice, let your heart return to its creator. You are not prodigal but adopted.

Love returns once you call upon him....God. Awaken and arise to heights unknown with eagles wings. You shall mount up with eagles wings because you wait upon him.
The Alpha and Omega,he who is the beginning and the end. The I am that I am.

Who are you at this very moment and what will you become? Release your feeble creations and let them fly away as a bird.

Now,... the soaring winds of 'grace' will bring more to your door. No more shadows, no more illusions about truth, no more betrayals, no more deceptions, ...only the whispers of God!

You do know who you are, don't you? Here's the secret, you are a child of God. From your mouth to God ears. God hears you.
