You Too Can Walk on Water
Before you run down to your local river or lake, please listen to the whole message first. It might not be what you are thinking.
Today we are going to discuss how our faith can overcome fear, doubt and negative thoughts. Our thoughts control us whether they are full of faith or negative thoughts of gloom and doom. This is illustrated nicely when Jesus walked on water.
We all know the story, but let’s review. Jesus told the disciples to get into the boat and go to the other side while he got alone with the father to pray.
Midway through the journey, a storm whipped up on the lake, then Jesus appeared to them as a ghost walking on the water. which scared them. Jesus said don’t be afraid, I am here. Peter asked Jesus to invite him onto the water. Peter was doing fine until he saw the size of the waves and then he became fearful and began to sink. He asked Jesus to save him which he did and then Jesus asked him why he doubted due to his lack of faith.
However, it is not necessary to walk on natural water to follow Jesus. His walking on the water is a lesson in spiritual overcoming.
The water we walk on is all our stress, troubles and pain we experience. Jesus said, my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. If your burden doesn’t feel very light today, take out your walking shoes and put that burden under your feet. It’s time to get above all the stuff. The higher God takes you, the smaller the problems appear.
