Beyond Zoom A work in progress Previous Day Next Day
Scripture: Matthew 14:28-29: Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. Abridged: People who are unable to get out of a boat for fear of drowning have more confidence in the world they know than in the miracles God wants to perform. Meditation: It is precisely in those places where we are deeply disturbed spiritually that we have the greatest opportunity to understand the image of God within us. The only way to be unconditionally with God is to trust, have faith, and believe with all of our heart, mind, and soul, that the Holy Spirit can and will transform our troubling situation into a marvelous opportunity beyond anything we can imagine. God can do little with people who limit the divine gift of faith. People who are unable to get out of a boat for fear of drowning have more confidence in the world they know than in the miracles God wants to perform. Sometimes our spiritual disturbances are exactly what we need to draw us closer to God. Oswald Chambers wrote: "Be persistent with your disturbance until you get face-to-face with the [God]." (My Utmost for His Highest - February 29th). If we follow this advice, God will move us to places where miracles happen. Prayer: Elohim, help us to not focus on ourself while in the work that you are doing through us. We are grateful that hough we are cracked vessels, you continue to enliven your Spirit within us to serve your holy purpose. Amen Enter password: .
