And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. -Matthew 14:28

Good morning and TGIF! The passage above recounts the well-known story of Jesus walking on the water. When the disciples first saw Him approaching, they mistook Him for a spirit.

Sensing their fear, Jesus immediately reassured them by identifying Himself. Then, true to his bold nature, Peter asked to join Him on the water. Stepping out of the boat, Peter began walking toward Jesus, but soon started to sink — likely because he became distracted.

Many of us, myself included, tend to focus on Peter’s faltering faith. Yet before we criticize, we should remember that Peter had the courage to step out of the boat in the first place. Few would dare take even one step onto the water, and no steps would have been taken at all without that initial act of faith.

So, never underestimate your small faith. Even a little faith is enough for the Lord to use, strengthen, and grow — enabling you to take not just a few steps, but to keep walking across the waters of life.

Go fellowship this weekend, we all need it.
