TO WALK LIKE JESUS...BUT ON THE WATER?

Theoretically, we preach a good game; even argue a good one. Jesus calls for followers and this we intend to do to the best of our ability.

The best of our ability seems to be a boundary that may need to go. Don't we really wish we could labor to the best of His ability? In us?

For instance, how are we doing at going into all of the world. The language essentially means as we are going. Since we are goers, we can justify our obedience.

I raise the question of how we think we are doing at walking on water. Jesus did. And we follow?
This would be an area I believe our people do experience. Some take on adoptions without clear understanding how it will work. Yet, they make it. Others increase their giving with a water-walking trust that God will provide....and He does. Still others set out with faithful stubbornness to do wild things for God and they actually reach the summit.

Therefore, I urge you to take inventory of your daily walk. Is any of it upon the waters of uncertain impossibility...made certain and possible? It was done by Jesus. It was done by Peter. It is accomplished by very plain people still today.

You and I can and should be one of them. May we lift our eyes to see the real Jesus and His abundant talent in the midst of wind and doubt. Do not fear. We work not alone. Walk where the flesh can't....but does.
