Sometimes I think Peter gets a bad rap, when the story of him walking on the water is told. It is almost always mentioned that Jesus said to him, "oh ye of little faith" but the Bible doesn't even mention what Jesus said to the eleven still in the boat.
Peter did have the faith to get out of the boat. True he was overcome with the sights and sounds of the circumstances around him and he began to sink, but he walked on water farther than I ever have... how about you?
Learning to walk by faith is like Peters experience, we make it a few steps then get caught up in the things, the fears, the circumstances around us and get our eyes off the Lord and His Word. Thank God He hears and answers when we call. Sometimes we may have to swim to the shore, spit out the seaweed and say here I go with God again .. in the end He will see us through. In the days that we live in and are facing we have to know how to walk by faith, living by the Word of God alone.
I guess I just want to say I would rather be a wet water walker than a dry boat rider. I would rather be working on walking with Jesus than rowing a boat in a storm.
Blessings in Jesus
