And
Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on
the water.” -Matthew 14:28 (NKJV)
Don’t be surprised when God actually gives you what you
ask for. Oh, how we doubt
the Lord sometimes. We ask Him for something and when the opportunity comes we
shy away. This shows what we really think about Jesus. If we believe God is who
He says He is, then we should be expecting Him to show up. Not be surprised. Peter
asks the Lord to tell him to come out on the water.
Our Lord Jesus did His part by simply telling Peter to come and
the rest was up to Peter. Often Christians ask the Lord for something, but do
not want to do the necessary work to receive it. To get closer to God your faith
must grow more in Him. When you ask God for a deeper relationship with Him and
more faith, you must realize that uncomfortable situations will follow.
Uncomfortable as they may be, however, we will be fine as long as we keep the
faith in Jesus. We must be ready for what we ask God for.
