Dare to Walk Through It?

"Lord, if it’s you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water.""Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came towards Jesus [Mat 14:28-29]

We do know exactly what Peter had done at that time. At first, Peter fully doubted towards what was appearing to him. He expected it as a ghost or other spiritual creatures hovering on the water. His mind was completely convoluted with a tremendous question: what is it? Finally, he strained to ask someone who was walking on the water outstandingly with a curious question "Lord, if it’s you," tell me to come to you on the water.". As a result from Peter's request, the person who was walking on the water, which we have already known as Jesus, told Peter to come out from the boat and start walking on the water. Surprisingly, Peter truly walked on the water to come closely to Jesus. Here, we can make a gist that Peter, as an ordinary man, had made an extraordinary and miraculous thing, which is as outstanding as Jesus did. 

Today, in our daily life, we probably have experienced a doubtful and uncertain situation which is able to jeopardize ourselves. We have arranged some brilliant plans in advanced, but when we face the reality, it seems that what we have orchestrated, will not run perfectly well. Sometimes, we are afraid to deal with a bankruptcy, financial problem, blackguard , tempered person or any other things that can debilitate our faith. A fear can gnaw our conviction in Christ, slowly but surely.  Thus , it is strongly mandatory to understand that the uncertain situation we face is more likely to weaken our faith. 

As Peter had experienced a wonderful moment with Jesus, we are like to do such that miraculous thing. First of all, we must rely ourselves, it includes believe, dream, family and everything we have, on the God's hand. Confess our sins and acknowledge Him as the most powerful Savior in our life. Subsequently , we have to come out from our boat, which means our own thought. Strain every nerve to act valorously and persistently towards something that seems unreachable. It may drain our energy and concentration sumptuously and overboard, but in return, we will be able to experience an outstanding result that comes up from our valor with Jesus. Therefore, do not be afraid in facing uncertain situation in our life. Surrender our life to God and we will be able to do a marvelous thing.
    
In summary, do not hesitate when God asks every single of us to walk on the water. Kindly accept His invitation and experience a marvelous thing with Him. Notwithstanding, we must understand clearly that in order to walk on the water, it needs a bold obedience to surrender totally our life to Jesus Christ. After that, undoubtedly, we will certainly experience a miraculous thing as Peter had experienced

The Vine and The Branch

"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." [John 15:1-4] To be a sturdy Christian means we must stay in the word of God which is able to enrich our knowledge and enlighten our path. In the book of John, Lord likened Himself as a vine while we are the branch. That leads us to a tantalizing question: What does the vine mean and what is the main role of the vine itself? Moreover, If we separate ourselves from the vine, what will happen? The Lord is the vine, as the bible said, means He is the source of everything we need. It includes our knowledge, strength, prosperity, and wisdom. Jesus taught clearly

The Obedient Sheep

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way [ Isaiah 53:6a] Bible describes us like a sheep that has gone astray due to we tend to take our own way. Moreover, in fact, we are eager to walk swiftly and rashly even though we are heading to the Death Valley.  Specifically, the vivid consequences of going astray is we will have no interest in learning bible, which means our frame of mind will not be formed and revised by the word of God. We will not be able to hear His admonishment at all. As a result, we are inclined to decide what we are going to do by our own thought. For example, when we are in a daze due to we are dealing with a lot of ordeals, what are we planing to? Will we seek some indulgences outside or take some times to pray to God? Are we more interested in babbling over our predicaments with friends or discussing it rigorously with our christian friends who know profoundly about bible and able to give a prudent advice?

Be Strong in The Trial

No trial has overtaken you that is not faced by others. And God is faithful: He will not let you be tried beyond what you are able to bear, but the trial will also provide a way out so that you may be able to endure it. [1 Cor 10:13] NIV In our daily life, we may face frequently toward several trials, which sometimes we think those trials are a heinous predicament. For example, when we are doing our business, it is more likely that we are stumbled or outfoxed by our partner. Moreover, in our workplace, we probably must face with a mountainous backlogs when we have arrived in the office. Those are the reality of trial that we often meet in our daily life. Undoubtedly, we need to realize that trial has truly existed in our daily life and there are no ways to avoid it. As a Christian, we normally question to a ubiquity and a miraculous act of God by grumbling “Lord, where are You? Do You really want me to overcome this predicament alone? Lord, I am going to give up in hand
