I’m so inspired by what bible says today. It is taken from Matthew 14:22-33 which tells us when Peter and other disciples saw Jesus walking on the water and they are so surprise and amazed. As they saw that miracle, they all say that…it’s a ghost (hehe..what a man!)
Suddenly Peter asked if He was trully Jesus, He will let Peter walk on the water to Him, and after Jesus said yes, Peter could walk on the water but….when as the wind blew out, Peter was doubt and it make him fell down in the water.
My thought in this story lies in 2 things:
1. Faith
Faith to whom? of course, it is faith to Jesus. He is there and it should be nothing to fear of. It was such a great faith that Peter had. He didn’t only believe to what Jesus said, but he did the action. What will I do if I know that God wants me to do something? sometimes I deny, sometimes I try to run ( Yeaah…that’s the signs of the unbeliever, rite? hahahahaha……….^_^ ) I evaluate and I get the result that I am too afraid to take a big faithfully step and this is going to be such a hugeeee resistance for me to get what God has provided me. I learn as Peter did, Jesus is here, in my life, and I must be brave because He’s the leader of my way. I believe if one day, I may take the wrong steps, He’ll put me back in His righteous, in one condition, as long as I have a teachable heart ^_^
2. Wind
Why did Peter fall? that’s because of the wind. The wind rose up the doubtness in Peter and he let it destroy his faith. I think, we can be both, blown up by the wind, or we are thw wind (for other people). Wind talks about resistance, something that can destroy my faith to God. Sometimes, I just let the wind blow up all my faith and the effect is that I will have a blank life, life without any hope. Just don’t let it happen ^_^ Bible describes ‘the wind’ as resistance, gossips (what other people says), doubt, hardships, etc etc.. it seems so hard, but Jesus has overcome it all.
The second perception is that sometimes, we become the wind for other people. This is what I notice so much. What I said, what I do, or even what I think, it can be such a huge resistance for other people. We are living in a community and it is allabout many people’s life Just don’t let us to be a resistance for other people….rite?
Happy nice friday ^_^
