God Reflections: Matthew 14 by ric gustafson
The disciples were on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. At one point, they see something in the distance. Then they see their master Jesus walking on the water. They were terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost.
At first he was terrified, then Peter wanted to do the same thing his master was doing. Jesus agrees. Peter climbs out of the boat. He takes a few steps. Then he looks down. Fear comes over his face. He begins to sink. He cries out to his master.
Jesus reaches out. He catches Peter. Then according to Matthew 14, he asks Peter. " You of little faith why did you doubt?".
There will be a time when Jesus asks us to get out of boat. There will be a call of God in our lives. God will ask us to get out of the boat. Will we do that?. Will we be faithful?. I pray that when we are called by God, we will get out of the boat. Jesus is faithful. When a storm comes, Jesus will hold out his hand and save us. Why?. Because he loves us more than anything else.
