Hillsong United - Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) HD 3D - Lyrics

Walking on the water.

At Sunday's service John spoke about Peter.  He referred to the verses in Matt 14 where Peter walks on the water:

And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."  So He said, "Come."   And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.  But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying "Lord, save me!"  And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of  little faith, why did you doubt?"

This is part 1 of the God visit.

Part 2:  On the way home there was a song on the radio that referenced this same concept.  I have posted this beautiful song above.  Take time to listen to it today, I think it will really bless you.

During the Sunday teaching John said 2 things that hit my heart: "whatever He tells you to do, do it" and "Listen to Him."

Now, I am so nervous about the VOM thing.  There are certain things I can do, God has gifted me in them.  I believe speaking to others about the suffering of our persecuted family is one of them, and I am so honored to do so.  But there are others things in my life I am not gifted in, they are weaknesses for me and this is where the wind and the waves come in.  Organization is one of those weaknesses (along with technology, spacial planning, using tape, does anyone else have that problem, and opening those darn milk containers !!)  There are certain areas my organizational skills excel, and then others where no matter how hard I try it just doesn't happen.  And this is the problem I am facing and fearing right now.  How can I keep all the stuff for VOM organized. The papers, the supplies, the emails, the names and lists.....I am terrified in this!! And struggling.

But this is where the walking on water comes in.  It is to be where I keep my focus on Jesus and not on the waves and the wind (organization and paperwork).  I believe He has told me to come out of the boat and walk on the water.  And if He has told me then He will hold me up.  Do I still feel scared?  Absolutely.  But am I trusting?  Absolutely.

Jesus help me to keep my eyes above the waves and looking only at You.  I know that whatever You tell me to do, I can do.  I will listen to You.  I do ask that You help me organize properly so I can find things when I need them and help me to be the blessing You want me to be.  Give us all the strength to keep our focus on You, knowing that whatever You call us to do, You will supply the way.   Glorify Your name in this.  Amen
