(06-06-2004, 17-05-2008)

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.

Matthew 14:24-32 Peter took a step of faith by trusting in Jesus – walking on the water (in the midst of the sea). He did not lean on his understanding that the water is liquid and he can sink deep in the sea. But when he started looking at the wind he began to sink. What does walking on the water have to do with the wind? When they reached the ship, the wind ceased. It is as if the wind was there just to test Peter's faith.

2Corinthians 5:7 We walk by faith not by sight. We trust in the Lord without depending on senses. Take a step of faith before you see.
