#090 - Sink or Swim.

Sink or Swim. Desperation: An emotional state in which a person feels a situation to be hopeless and without satisfactory options. What can we do when we are in a desperate situation? We can call on God. We can depend on God. We can trust God. So peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. Realization: Our focus must remain on Christ. Notice this, peter still called on the Lord. The realization is this, there's always an opportunity to trust God. We just need to decide to do it. Restoration; Something to think about. When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. Jesus carried peter through the storm. Peter still experienced the waves and the wind. Jesus never let go. Jesus put peter in the boat and they all went back to shore rescued and restored! When we step out in faith, we really experience the son of God! Embrace the truth of God's word so we can experience the power of God. Matt 14:1-28, Isa 41:13, Psa 50:15, Psa 91:14-16, Psa 145:18, Jer 33:3.
