Matthew 14:28-29

"And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come
unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was
come down out of the ship, he walked on the water."

It's easy to be so afraid of making a mistake that you never get around
to stepping out on faith. You can spend all your time wondering, "Is
this faith? Or is it presumption? What if I exercise my faith for
something and find out later I've missed God's will?"

Don't worry. God can handle any mistake you can make. I know
because I've made plenty of them. When I did, I'd just go to the Lord
and He'd tell me, "Stay on the Word, son. Together we'll overcome
this thing." And we always did.

If you act on the Word out of the sincerity of your heart and you
steadfastly stay with the Word, Jesus will never let you down...no
matter how many dumb mistakes you make. He proved that the night
Peter jumped out of the boat in the middle of the lake.

Don't let fear keep you from taking that step of faith. Come on, get
out of the boat today!

SCRIPTURE READING: Matthew 14:22-33
