Mat 14:28 Then Peter spoke up. “Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you.”

The Storm that brings us actually nearer to Jesus, Peace, Hope and Comfort.
|
At times we undergo great distress. may be as you read this you are going through GREAT DISTRESSING times, and you feel life is almost too much to bear. Things seem to get worse even though you prayer more and give more to God.
|
Peter learnt a valuable lesson, you see the storm was around him, and he was afraid, but the ONLY WAY to get CLOSER to Jesus was to FACE the STORM head on. He got out of the boat (the comfort and security he did have) and walked by faith trusting Jesus to look after him through this storm.
|
The Lord did so according to his faith.
|
But listen BEST of all, the Storm actually brought Peter closer to Jesus. Instead of being scared and beaten down by the trial of his faith, he moved forward and got closer to Jesus, he walked into the storm into Jesus arms.
|
If today you are in a storm, try and USE the STORM for YOUR GOOD and allow it to bring you closer to Jesus.
|
Then at the right time the storm will totally end.
