Take the step of faith

"Lord, if it’s you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water." "Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. (Matthew 14: 28-29 NIV)

 You don’t have to believe that what you want to happen will always happen. You just have to believe that God can bring about what is best in His time and His way. Faith knows what is most important to know: God will never leave you nor forsake you.
 None of us know what lies ahead. We often can’t know if that setback we’re facing or the things we’re suffering will be gone in a minute or a month, or if they will last a lifetime. Our faith can’t be built on expected results that make sense to us. What faith knows is that Jesus will not leave us comfortless; He’ll be there walking with us through the fire, as He was with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  Believe Him and expect the best; it’s worth waiting for.
 Jesus loves it when we look at the waves and the winds of adversity and do like Peter did with Him. He was ready to jump right into the challenges because he’d seen God’s power in Jesus and was ready to put himself into those hands that he trusted would never fail him.
 What are the challenges that you’re facing? What impossible situations are looming big in your life? Will you step out on the waters to meet Jesus right now so that His power can be manifested in your life? Take the step of faith, and even if you feel that momentary sinking feeling at times, you only have to call out to Him and He’ll bring you through in His perfect time and way. —Maria Fontaine [1]

 Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe." — Voltaire
