In Matthew 14:22 it says that Jesus insisted that the disciples get into the boat in order to cross the lake. Verse 25 tells us that as they were crossing at three in the morning, Jesus came to them walking on the water. While this story has many spiritual lessons, I’d like to point out the obvious. Unless you can walk on water, don’t miss the boat.
When it comes to knowing God’s will, it’s easy to miss the boat and the disciples would have, if they had not listened.
James 1:22 (NLT) – But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.
Don’t be fooled – Listening means so much more than hearing God’s Word. It’s doing it too. I’ll be sharing God’s will for all of us this Sunday and asking you to get in the boat. The rest will be up to you. Catch the boat or walk on water – the choice is yours.
