The Bullet of Pressure: Storms and Walking on Water

God is always initiating storms in our lives that we can’t handle. Do you remember the story of Peter and the disciples in the middle of the Sea of Galilee in that great storm? Peter was able to walk on water only after Jesus told him he could.

Strange, isn’t it, that many of us think that we can walk on water without God’s power. The Father wants all Christians to live supernaturally and many of us have sunk trying just like Peter. When we look to self we sink … when we look to God we walk! The simple reason for our failure is that we have lived by our own wills and not by the Word of God.

Until we know God has said something to us through His Word, we’d better stay in the boat! What storms has God initiated in your life to prompt you to let Him cope for you? You’d better not get out of the boat until you’ve settled that question.
