Peter in the Storm

You're in the middle of a miracle and you can't see it.

You look around and all you can see is the raging storm

You can only feel yourself sinking

Jesus is there, but you struggle to see Him through all the wind and rain, you struggle to hear His voice say "come"

His arm outstretched, all He requires of you is that you keep walking

Place your hand in His and keep walking

You were never supposed to do it alone

You're supposed to do it clinging firmly to the only one who can hold you up once you keep walking

But you allow yourself to be blinded and you start to sink.

Cry out. Cry out. Because Jesus is still there to save you and help you walk

Don't be afraid of disappointing Him

Don't be worried about hearing what He will say

He will encourage you, He will restore your faith and set you in the right perspective

The Lord your God will be there to save you from drowning

Because He was there before you even started walking

He will get the boat safely where it needs to go

And on the other side? There is even more

On the other side, where the land is and the people dwell

There is healing and deliverance and countless more miracles galore

On the other side is purpose, the continued advancement of God's plan for you

Your time on the water didn't delay or deny you from reaching God's destination for you

It was a transitionary experience that will now inform your journey with Him for the rest of your life

And so to the God that is able to keep you from falling, drowning and all things in between, be glory, honour, dominion and power forever and ever AMEN.
