What next?

I remember the feeling I felt when I graduated from high school. I felt like I accomplished something I have been working on my whole life prior to that event. Now, am standing at a similar cross road where I am expected to make some of the most important decisions that will defiantly affect my future! No pressure eh! I know that once am sure of what I am going to do the next step would be walking forward with faith.  For I know if I am in the perfect will of He who created me all will be well.

Peter is one of the disciples of Jesus Christ. He has experienced the Lord’s miracles in his own life. The night the disciples saw Jesus walking on water most of them thought it was a ghost and they were terrified. Then Jesus said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” Matthew 14: 27; when you continue to read on what Peter says it’s actually amazing.  “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.  “Come,” Jesus said. Matthew 14:28-29

Do you see the pattern or the steps that unfolded in this story? First disciples were scared thinking it was a ghost. However, once peter knew it was Jesus the atmosphere changed. Peter asked the Lord to tell him the next step and Jesus did!! God taught me a valuable lesson from this passage. In times of anxiety or tough situations we need to look at everything around us and remember that He we serve is a God that isn't limited to material or earthy things, He isn’t governed by rules of gravity, He is everything but ordinary. Once we recognize that our next step should be to prayerfully ask Him to lead us. Though the reply might not be immediate; He will call us to where He wants us to go. The most important thing here after prayer and seeking God’s will is to then take that first step in faith. It was only the faith Peter had that helped Him walk alongside Christ on water, who would think it was possible to walk on water. But when u serve a Living, Loving, Majestic, Incredible, non-Ordinary God all that is impossible becomes possible!!! “I can do all this through Christ who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13

Notes

• So first seek His face, come in prayer to ask Him what next?
• Then when He tells us, though the reply might not be immediate, but if we wait on Him He will give us an answer
• Then comes taking that first step with faith

Stay Blessed<3
