耶稣立刻对他们说：“放心吧！是我，不要怕。”(马太福音 14:27)
Do you avoid taking risks at all costs? Many of us are reluctant to step out of our comfort zones in case we fail, get hurt, or look stupid. But if we allow that fear to bind us, we’ll end up afraid to do anything.
The story of Peter’s water-walking adventure and why it supposedly failed is a popular choice for preachers (Matt. 14:22-33). But so far, there doesn't seem to be one who has discussed about the behavior of the rest who were in the boat. Peter was a success. He felt the fear but responded to the call of Jesus anyway. Maybe it was those who never tried at all who failed.
Jesus risked everything for us. What are we prepared to risk for Him?
Father,
thank You for stretching out Your hand and saying, “Come.”
Help me to get out of the boat, knowing that it is totally safe to walk on water with You.
“Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” Helen Keller
