FIELD NOTE 009 // THE WIND & THE WAVES
There was more than one person who walked on water.
Peter did too.
Jesus came to the disciples in the middle of the storm.
Peter said:
“Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
And Jesus said:
“Come.”
So Peter got out of the boat.
And he walked.
Then he looked at the wind.
He saw the waves.
He became afraid.
And he began to sink.
That hit me differently this morning.
Because there are winds and waves in my life right now.
Things I need to fix.
Things I need to pay for.
Things I don't know the outcome of.
And maybe there are in yours too.
The lesson isn't to pretend they aren't there.
You still have to take action.
You still have to move forward.
But where are your eyes?
I've found myself praying this constantly lately:
I yoke myself to You.
The wind is here.
The waves are here.
I'll do what You've given me to do.
But I don't have to stare at the storm.
I can look toward Him.
And when I lose Him—
I can turn back.
REFLECT
What wind or wave has been getting more of your attention than God lately?
And what would it look like to acknowledge it, do what is yours to do, and turn your eyes back toward Him?
// Godspeed
