Out of the boat

The wind and the waves splashed all the crew in the face, but Pete heard a voice that made him jump out of the boat. You see, his friend Jesus had been talking while he was walking on the water.

That is a pretty good sign that Jesus was more that a preacher, more than a teacher, more than just another prophet. Yep, He is the son of God in the flesh. Anyway, Jesus told Pete to come to him, so Pete stepped out of the boat.

Some people think that Pete knew where the rocks were, but this was deep water. He just knew that if Jesus said he could do it, then he could do it.

Actually, I always thought Pete stepped out on the water, but then it hit me the other day that Pete stepped out on the word. He had a word from Jesus, and that was the sustaining force to keep him afloat. When you hear a word from God, it will surely sustain you.

There is a sustaining word for us if we can hear it. Jesus said, "Come to me". That word will keep us afloat in any circumstance. That word will sustain us if we just obey him. Pete is the proof that he won't let us sink.

As for me, I want to live a supernatural life so I am stepping out today. Why don't you join us on the water? Your life will never be the same once you have walked on His word!
