Stay In The Water!

We are all familiar with the story of Jesus and the disciples when they were fearful in the boat. Jesus summoned Peter to walk on the water towards him, and he did so momentarily. The split moment he began to let fear slither into his being, he began the sink and drown. After analyzing this story, I thought to myself-why is it that when God gives us a directive, we follow it for a while and stray, or don’t follow it at all? Why can’t we seem to get it right…and keep it right? I mean if God wants us to be the head and not the tail, below and not beneath, highly favored, etc…why aren’t we? Success awaits us, it has been entrusted to us, we have been empowered to walk in it. We can’t just wait for it to fall in our laps and expect it to all be smooth sailing! What I would like for you to do is not just envision yourself walking on the water; but actually diving in and swimming in it!

Just like a scuba diver jumps in a lake or the ocean water to find life species or treasures, so must you do the same to find your treasure! Your treasure is in trusting that God will lead you, He will provide for you, He will sustain you!

Fear, doubt, procrastination are the drowning agents of your destiny. Nothing can quickly zap out your calling than these things.

Let me let you in on one of my passions. I absolutely love the being in the atmosphere of the ocean. It’s serenity, its peacefulness, its calming effect does wonders. The coolness of the water just sets me to a place of euphoric contentment. Same goes for a nice, elegant pool setting (but not at as high of a level). But guess what? I can’t swim a lick. Now, does that stop me from getting in the water, even jumping in the water? Not one bit. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not stupid, I am not going to put my life in jeopardy, I do use wisdom when I am frolicking in the waves. I am trying to make a point here. As I am jumping the water, I trust GOD enough that I know that I won’t drown, there won’t a chance of unfortunate mishaps to occurs. So the same should be with your life plan. When God gives you a plan, He trusts that you have enough in you to perform it. He trusts that you trust HIM enough to know that He will not allow you not to fail.

So what are you waiting for? The water is waiting for you to jump in. You will not regret what where it leads you. Treasure awaits!
