Walking on Water and drowning at the same time?

[soundingthealarm]

God is going to be moving in our lives in such a way as to cause us to get out of our comfort zones and safe places and to us it might feel like we are walking on water at times

And You can like Peter, IF You keep your eyes on Jesus and He bids you to come

but here's a good part of that story that speaks to me...when Peter took His eyes off Jesus and and was overcome by the waves and circumstances and BEGAN to drown....He Cried out to JESUS and of course Jesus came and rescued Him, I love that Peter walked on Water...but I love even More that Our Lord and Savior was there in the drowning moment too

I can talk a big game, but there have been many many times I've started out "on top" of the circumstances around me and then in seconds began to feel like I was drowing...

feeling led to encourage those who read this...to know YES we are More than Conquerors and Yes ..Greater is He that is In us that he that is in this world and Yes We can do all things through Christ who gives us Strength but also, in those times when LIFE and it's circumstances SCREAM at Us...Our Savior is A VERY PRESENT HELP and so ready to hear our cries and CARRY Us safely on our way

Take Heart and Be of Good Cheer....Our Redeemer LIVES

One thing to consider: when Peter stepped out onto the water, he didn't think of what would happen if he took his eyes off the Lord. Likewise, we need to be mindful of that as well: once we walk with Him, we cannot take our eyes off him or we'll sink too.

It reminds me about Jesus' admonition to "count the cost " of following him...
