Walking on Water by Erika Masterson
Wow! Today I heard a young lady Becca Bowers speak in our church about when PETER walked on water towards JESUS, then doubted and started to sink. PETER then said, “Save me” and JESUS did.It really got me thinking about the many times I have heard JESUS say “Come” and have either not listened or started and then doubted. A while back I had a vision where I was floating in a serene ocean, I felt peace and happiness but then suddenly I realized I had nothing to grab onto. It was terrifying. I prayed to ask God why am I seeing this? The next day I had another vision. This time rain was pouring down on me and God had given me a boat. I felt safe again. But after hearing the message today I realized that the story is not over yet. The serine water in my first vision was symbolizing this perfect life that I had created for myself. But I realized I had nothing to grab onto for help. The second one seems too perfect, God gave me a boat for safety. With that he told me he will save me if I ask. But I’m not to remain in the boat. I need to step out onto the water and walk. This time with faith in who I am in him. Trusting that he will never let me drown. He has already prepared ahead of me what he wants me to do.
