“Peter answered, ‘Lord, if it is you, order me to come to you on the water.’
Jesus said, ‘Come!’ So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he noticed how strong the wind was, he became afraid and started to sink. He shouted, ‘Lord, save me!’
Immediately, Jesus reached out, caught hold of him, and said, ‘You have so little faith! Why did you doubt?’
When they got into the boat, the wind stopped blowing. The men in the boat bowed down in front of Jesus and said, ‘You are truly the Son of God.’ ” (Matthew 14:28-33 God’s Word ©)

We focus on behaviour we want to change. We debate about how baptism should be done. We make plans for retirement.

But when Peter noticed the storm instead of the Saviour, he began to sink.

Are you sinking, or in a rut, or even in a pit?

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.” Helen H. Lemmel, 1922

My apologies to those kind people who follow my blog, and to those I follow. I have been on a recess from blogging. I am sure I have missed some wonderful things in your writing, but I was just on an extended seminar with Jesus having my eyesight checked.

Please know I have thought about you. Blogging had become a little too important and I had to go on a cruise with Jesus on the water. The wind and waves have, at this moment, faded away so that I can see clearly the water-walking-wind-wandering Wonder.

Peace to you all.
