I AM!

Read:  Matthew Chapter 14

“And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’” (vs. 33)

It was Peter’s mental understanding (human perception) that one cannot walk on water.  When experience told him he would sink (through the sensation of feeling the strong wind), his faith wavered and he indeed began to sink.  Many of us set out in faith, in obedience to the Holy Spirit, but when reality hits, when our experience in this world seems to be contrary to God’s Word, we waver and doubt.  Many abandon what faith tells us to believe because physical sensation tells us a different story.  As humans we tend to believe our circumstances more than God’s promises.

Father, please reveal where I am believing the reality of this world more than the reality of You.  Give me the faith to believe your promises despite what I see and hear and experience in this world.  May Your reality be my reality.
