Today we talk about Jesus walking on water and how it can speak into our day to day walk with Him. We explore the idea that we, like Peter, sink in the water when we doubt in God’s power. We sink when we take our eyes off of Him and try to walk on the water, above the waves, without Jesus.
It is important to note that Jesus, from His higher place, knew the apostles were heading towards a storm yet didn’t divert them. Jesus even went to walk past the apostles, just so they could see Him.
With all of this, we see that God won’t always provide relief in situations, but will provide revelation. A few points to take are:
- Relief comforts you, but revelation transforms you.
- Relief is temporary, but revelation is life-changing.
- Relief soothes the moment, but revelation shapes the future.
- Relief gives you ease, but revelation gives you growth.
- Relief gets you through, but revelation takes you beyond.
- Relief may calm the storm, but revelation teaches you to walk on water.
- Relief eases the burden, but revelation breaks the chains.
- Relief is the manna for today, but revelation is the promise of tomorrow.
- Relief lifts your spirit, but revelation renews your mind.
- Relief quenches the thirst, but revelation becomes a wellspring of life.
- Relief gives you rest, but revelation leads you to resurrection.
- Relief is a moment of peace, but revelation is the path to purpose.
- Relief may heal the wound, but revelation restores the soul.
