Lord We Wait For You...

How many have ever attempted to do something even though it appeared it was impossible or very unlikely, yet you continued on and low and behold things changed before your eyes as you kept walking towards your intended outcome. Peter got out of the boat to walk to Jesus and only began to sink when he started rationalizing that it was not possible in the natural. When our trust is in Jesus, he will makes all things possible.

Are you trusting God daily in what you attempt to do? Are you developing your spiritual muscles by letting go of your expected outcome and trusting God in your storm to make a way?

The other day I decided to go on a local cruise with a childhood friend as a fun outing before I left the state. As we watched the weather, the storms passed through, and it was uncertain whether or not we would sail. Even as we were within minutes of sailing the captain was uncertain if the weather would permit us to sail. Not being a big risk taker, I was fine with him saying it was too dangerous, yet with storms on the horizon, he said it was a go with an assurance that we wouldn't get too far out in case bad weather moved in.

As we set sail things seem to be getting worse instead of better and I began to have my doubts, but I was forced to trust his expertise, and since he was an old captain, I reassured myself based on his experience. Of course there was also a silent prayer of safety and protection in the storm.

As the sail continued the storm seemed to evaporate before our eyes and we experienced a glorious sunset and setting of the moon in extremely cool weather to boot. We were blessed with a chance to trust God in the storm and experience his beautiful creation in a way that is hard to miss on a sail boat.

Do you have uncertainty, unknown things that are lurking ahead of you? Are you being called out onto the water to walk in that uncertainty? Are you allowing normal fear to keep you from trusting God? Do you desire to do more and grow? If you are like me the answer is yes, yes and yes! Know you are not alone, but don't trust me, trust the God who made you and is right beside you each step of the way!

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
