And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.

” So Peter got
out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning
to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O
you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat
worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” (Matthew 14:28-33)

The story of Jesus walking on water appears in three of the four gospels (Matthew, Mark, John). But, only in Matthew
do we also learn that Peter also walked on water!

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS

Jesus is worth seeking, so keep doing that. Peter turned to Jesus despite the storm that was all around Him. He
stopped looking at Jesus, which was the main issue. The guiding idea is simple: keep your eyes fixed on Jesus,
especially when life is a chaotic storm. How do you see yourself looking to Jesus?

DON'T HESITATE TO FOLLOW JESUS' INSTRUCTIONS

When Jesus commands you, obey Him. Jesus told Peter to “come” to Him on the water. Even though it made no
sense, Peter did what Jesus said. This is what obedience looks like–doing what Jesus says. Is there any area in your
life that you are not obeying the Lord?

FEAR WILL SINK YOU

When Peter had faith, he walked on water. When he had fear, he sank in the water. The same is true for you. Fear will
sink you. Is there any fear that is gripping and controlling your decision making?

A LITTLE FAITH IS BETTER THAN NO FAITH BUT STRIVE TO HAVE A GREATER FAITH

The Lord Jesus spoke of Peter’s “little faith”. This means that he was capable of even greater sustained faith. But, the
guys in the boat apparently had no faith.

YOU CAN CHOOSE TO WORRY OR WORSHIP

In an instant, the men went from worrying about their circumstances to worshipping their Christ. How is your
worship of the Lord going?
