And
immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and
said to him, “O you of little faith, why
did you doubt?” –Matthew 14:31 (NKJV)
Do you understand what you’re asking God for? God exists on a level much…MUCH higher
than ours. We must understand that in exiting of our comfort zones and reaching
for Him will be unlike any other experience. We are attempting to be more
spiritual in a physical world. Notice in our scene here that Jesus is out
walking on the water while Peter is in the boat at first. We need to understand
that we are nowhere near God’s level.
Man’s most intricate and complex achievements are much
less than simple to the Lord. Basically, it is like we are just sitting in a boat and God is
out walking on water. The former being something very normal, the latter being
something wildly extraordinary. When we get ready to get closer to God we need
to know that we will be leaving our comfort zones. This will include dropping
old habits, friends, places, thoughts, desires, motives, and much more. It is
difficult, but necessary. The worth of it is greater than I could explain. Are you ready to go higher? At all
costs?
