Step Out of the Boat - Faith Through Life's Storms
So, you ever have a lot of things going on and you’re really having to lean on the Lord to give you patience and strength and deliver you from this storm that won’t seem to subside? I have, and it gets me asking myself how strong is my faith and is it strong enough to survive it? Am I ready to “walk on water”?“And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God." Mathew 14This came from the mouth of a man who did not think before he spoke. Still, Jesus used it to release a great lesson – and blessing. Peter walked on the water. Yes, he struggled in faith, but he did it.Which storm are you in today? Does it need to be made still? Or is it there to grow your faith? We do not know until we ask. Be ready to step out of the boat though!Be Nice. Grace Wins.

The Very Thing
When Paul said give thanks in all circumstances, he meant ALL. Including the crappy ones. Try thanking God today for the very thing that's keeping you from thanking Him.

Not As the World Gives
Can we have peace when our world is turned upside down? The world's peace is sketchy. Jesus offers a different kind, built on God Himself, that thrives in the storm.

Not a Verdict
Job was righteous and suffered. Jesus said the sun rises on the evil and the good. Suffering is not a verdict on your standing with God. We all suffer. The reward is eternal.
