‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14‬:‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬ — Come, he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus

Today I will continue sharing about, “we can’t wash feet when …” We haven’t been literally washing feet, rather sharing in the context of humility, the posture of our hearts, and the call to serve others. In thinking about when Jesus washed His disciples feet, we ourselves can’t wash feet when we are paralyzed in our boats. As most of you know our blog is called Water Walkers so that we can encourage ourselves and others to step out of the boat, wherever God is leading, even if it is something that is out of our comfort zone. Sometimes we are meant to stay in the boat with God. Often we are called to step out. Can you recall a time where you were paralyzed with fear and just couldn’t take that leap of faith? This doesn’t always need to be something grand, like going out of the country on missions. This could be talking to a stranger in the grocery store or inviting someone to church. 

In the song Oceans by Hillsong United, we know that our feet may fail at times. Good news, God never fails us. I encourage you to worship and really think about the lyrics: “Spirit, lead me where my trust is without borders. Let me walk upon the waters, wherever you would lead me. Take me deeper than my feet would wander.”

Where is God calling you to step out today? Maybe you need a little encouraging nudge. As you read today’s key verse and go to God in prayer, ask Him to give you strength and courage. Let’s pray.

Dear Lord, thank You for opportunities to step out of my boat for Your glory. I ask that when You call, I will listen with the strength and courage I need to step out. Here I am Lord, send me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
