I Can't Walk on Water, Yet!

I have tried numerous times to walk on water. Standing on the edge of a swimming pool, a dock on the lake, even a puddle of water on the sidewalk, I’ve stepped onto the water thinking, “This just might be the time!” And of course, it was not.

In looking at the story of Peter’s experience in walking on the water and my attempts to do so as well, there is a key element missing in my attempt. Jesus is not on the other side saying, “come.” It’s always been my fleshly desire to walk on water just to be able to say that I did.

Yes, if Jesus is standing on the water in front of you, and asks you to come join Him, I guarantee you’ll be walking on water immediately! But if it’s just your flesh wanting to do something, forget about it.

Keep your focus on Jesus, not your flesh. Listen to the voice of God, not your own. And as you do, you’ll be walking on water sometime soon.

You watch… You wait… You’ll see!
