Get Out of The Boat

Athletes stretch to develop muscles, enduring the pain. Consider the spiritual aspect of stretching your faith. It comes in many different forms.

We stretch our faith when we allow Christ to save us, follow Him in baptism, have a daily Bible study -- just us and God -- and also committing to tithes and offerings. Here's how Peter stretched his faith.

Matthew 14:28,29 . . . Lord, if it be thee, 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 to go to Jesus.

Its time for us to stretch our faith and get out of the boat like Peter did. It's time to get out of our comfort zone and abandon our security blanket. 

Though Peter began to sink, Jesus rescused him and used him on the day of Pentecost to preach a powerful message. Over 3,000 souls were saved. Our faith must be exercised. Jesus wants to use us for His glory. Afraid of failure, we may be reluctant to get out of the boat. 

What is it that Jesus has put in your life, but you won't get out of the boat?

Jesus is out of the boat. That's where you face your doubts and fears. You will develop more faith than you ever imagined when you get out of the boat.
