Remember in Mathew when Jesus asked Peter to step out of the boat, on to the water? Aren’t we just like Matthew sometimes? We hear Jesus speaking to us but we worry about the wind and the rain and waves. Why can’t we just focus in on the voice of the Savior and walk? Why do we always have to try to be cautious?
The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!” – Matthew 8:26-27
Because that is our human nature. To account for every possible hazard that could arise only then will we step out of the boat. But that’s not what God wants. God wants us to trust Him completely. He has already accounted for every hazard that could arise. He is really the only measure that we need to worry about. If God calls you to go. Walk by faith and go.
A line from one of my favorite songs goes like this:
“There on the storm I am learning to let go of the will that I so long to control” – Calmer of the Storms by Downhere
Let go. Don’t worry about the wind and waves. Jesus Christ is calling you and He will take care of you.
