So Jesus instructed Peter to come on out to Him. Peter immediately cried out to the aster, and Jesus stretched outHis hand to catch him. When Peter followed the Master's instruction, He was on TOP of the water, as troubled as it was. But when Peter took His eyes OFF of Jesus, and began to look at the troubled water all around him, he began to sink down into that water. And it is the same with you and me.
Life is FULL of storms.
There is a lot you could worry about out there. We are indeed in a very troublesome time in the history of our people. The turbulent wind and the tempestuous waves are all around us on every side, and the trouble and hopelessness of our situation would seem to be almost insurmountable. And that faith, as a shield, will protect us from, and quench, all the fiery darts that come our way. Because trouble WILL come.
