Out of the comfort zone.
Matthew 14: 22-34
Often than not, decision and choices has to be made. We might feel that once we decide on the situation we already out of our comfort zone, we made difference. No. getting into the boat, out in the ocean is still out comfort zone. We are not touching the waters, we have out paddles if we want to go back. We have our life jacket to save us. The boat is our comfort zone. Getting out of the boat, touch the water, walk on the water with Jesus is not comforting, right?
1. What we see through our naked eyes might be impossible (4:26)
Like the disciple, Jesus leads them to see the impossible. They cross the lake and walk on water. Jesus will always lead us to the impossible. We will see visions and dreams. He will walk us directly towards our dreams.
2. Encourage (4:27)
Will he encourage us? Of course! He will give us Word, direction, revelation. But the decision is ours. Will you step in or will you paddle back to the shore?
3. Ask/Test (4:28)
As a human, to see is to believe. We test our own faith!
4. Distraction will come and sink throug us (4:30)
Strong wind and wave came. Distraction. This is not to tear you down or sign that this is not good idea. But a test, will this distraction sink through you?
5. He will be there always to save us (4:31)
Always, a helping hand. Now, Peter was saved when he has nearly sinking. Sometimes, the help comes when we about to sink in, when we are sinking or about to drown. But remember, He will be there..always!
Faith brings joy, joy develops endurance, endurance develops character and character strengthen our confident hope of salvation. (Romans 5)
