this was the title of the message this morning at church. which is probably the most broad title ever, but the message was so good and i love the pastor, jim burgen. he is real and the messages are challenging in an encouraging kind of way. anyway, he talked a bit about peter walking on the water. and how we shouldn't just sit in the boat. maybe we will fail, but like a dad teaching his kid to ride a bike, God's just gonna come along side and tell us "you almost had it, keep going." he talked about the things God wants to do through us that no one would even believe. how later peter might have been sitting around with friends telling the story "this one time..."
anyway, i love this verse:
"look at the nations and watch-
and be utterly amazed.
for I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told."
habukkuk 1:5
i love it
and i wanna be apart of it

i love peter's story. all through out scripture he continually is seeking to understand Jesus and who he really is. at this point (the getting out of the boat and walking on the lake at the end of John) he finally gets it. how much harder then would you say it is for us; people seeking God through his word and the Spirit, yet not walking with Jesus every day like peter did.
and by on the lake i mean around the lake at the end of John.
