John Ortberg wrote a book back in 2001 entitle, “If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get Out of the Boat.”
relating to the Gospel reading of this Sunday, Matthew 14:22-33, Jesus invites Peter to get out of the boat he is in and walk on the water with him.
The story brings up three questions in our own faith walk:
1) What boat are you in?
2) What would “walking on water” look like in your life?
3) What is holding you back?
4) What would motivate you to take a step of faith?
As we go through our everyday lives, keep your eyes open for opportunities that God may throw in front of you to take a step of faith, and learn to say to yourself, Here’s My Chance!
