My day was lets say... very interesting. I went to see a car today which could be my new car, just waiting back to here. Went to an interview which went good, if i was in the right place, and also got another interview in line :). Both of these interviews are for completley different types of work, but we'll see which one i get :)
Wanted to share some stuff with you guys that i was doing last night in our kerith group (house group, study group) If you would like to turn to Matthew14 vs 22-34
Basically what you get out of this verse is how we need to trust, learn and put our faith in god.
We need to be giving our everything to god, and trusting him to do with it what he wants. (Jeremiah29vs 11)
We need to be stepping out in our faith, stepping out of our comfort zones, even the little things god can see as big things. We need to not waste our time and gods time praying for stuff that we really can do ourselfs.
Our boat is our comfort zone :)
whether you like it or not, if you stay in that boat for too long, it will sink.
we described this as an escelator (cant spell) you either go up or down. Going up would be trusting god and stepping out in faith. Going down would be staying in the boat and not growing at all, just staying the same.
What do you want to do???
I know i want to get out of the boat before i drown or go down, but i also know that its hard too. I'm still on the boat and i'd love to just jump off at any time, and this is where i think i struggle sometimes with my faith, and so did peter in the verse above, Peter only took his eyes off jesus for one second in this passage and immediatley he falls and starts to sink. When we take our eyes off jesus, we immediatley lose our faith and we begin to sink and fall. But peter was the one that stepped out of the boat, the others in the boat were the failures, they were comfortable in the boat, although peter nearly drown he took that step and got off the boat.
Does Failure lead to success?
Are you a risk taker or a comfort seeker?
have a think about it? do you want grow and start your journey with god, its dangerous staying in our comfort zones, youll never see your life moving forward.
Are you ready to jump out of the boat?????
GO FOR IT!!!!!
