Elijah, Peter and walking on water - a podcast by In memory of Father JohnRose

We learned that during times of stress and self-doubt, that the shaky ground should trigger our love response to call upon our Lord Jesus. We learned that God’s expectation for us is far greater, far more wonderful than we can imagine. That our Lord Jesus sees in each of us - not only his invitation to join his family, but our Lord Jesus sees in us the love of his Father, a love so large that he fed 5,000, so loving that he freely and completely died on a cross for each on of us. Today’s gospel helps us understand that the urgency of Peter’s grasp is real, and the God not only grabs hold, but directs the heart. Today, we get a clear line of sight that by following God’s plan for us, that seeking out his will, that our Lord Jesus is there every step of the way. Yes, get out of the boat – move beyond your comfort zone – and do it with complete trust in the Lord - do it in middle of a storm - do it during rough seas!  Yes, we are to get out of the boat and trust the Lord Jesus Christ. Today this message resonates – today we are called!
