We've all heard the the saying "ride it out" or "ride out the storm."
Kinda saying just stick around and see what happens- good or bad.
Well, I suggest we "White Out the Storm" instead of "Ride Out the Storm."
When you white out something, you correct a mistake, and nothing that is beneath the white out is seen.
White it out. Everything the winds, the waves, the lightening, the thunder.
28 Peter said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly God’s Son!”
The Bible says, "seeing the wind," Peter became frightened, even though he was already walking on water.
Can you believe this?
What if Peter "whited out" the wind, and did not see the wind. He would have not sank. His focus would have been deliberately on Jesus.
If the storm is distracting us from looking to Jesus, we must WHITE OUT the storm! In verse 32, we clearly see that the wind completely stops when they are back in the boat together.
When we are taking huge steps of faith, it may be easy to doubt God because we are scared of what we see going on around us, but Jesus still saves. The wind isn't even a problem anymore once they are inside the boat together!
Let's look to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith! Even Peter's faith was being protected and nourished at this moment.
This is probably one of the most action-packed stories of the Bible, Jesus being heroic: strecthing out his hand and essentially taking hold of him. Jesus is STRONG!
That's it, thoughts for the day, folks!
