the raging storm

tonite my small group looked at the bible story of Peter and Jesus walking on water
and it really got me thinking...at first Peter is so trusting of Jesus that he asks Him if he can join him on the water... Jesus says yes and Peter steps out of the boat and walks toward Jesus...but soon Peter starts to notice the storm, the waves, and the winds that are raging all around him and he starts to sink...
I could not help but think of how alike i am to Peter...i have moments where i trust God so much that i am willing to jump out of my safety zone and follow Him...but then i look around me and see the my storm-the loneliness, the self-doubt, the unkind words of family and i start to sink i lose site of Jesus and his plan for me i start to drown in the things of this world.

I don't want to focus on the storm but instead focus on the one who can calm the storm...the One who can pull me from the waves and set me back on the path of faith and trust in Him
