Last week as I was getting my feet wet in the beautiful Pacific Ocean being a bit dubious to step out further due to the incoming white surf of the huge breaking waves behind me I was reminded of an old gospel song from the Cathedral Quartet.
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper
Wet your feet in the water of His love
Step into the water
Wade out a little bit deeper.
Not all waters are as inviting and warm as the Pacific Ocean yet I do know that regardless of incoming crashing waves in our lives we can have the confidence to wade out a little deeper into the water and warmth of His love.
Matthew 17:28-31 And 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 and walked on the water and came to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt.”
Keep your eyes on Jesus and you will not fear the crashing surf of those incoming waves.
