“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 ”Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down=
out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, b=
eginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.

Fearless Wet Shoes
At a rally last night, Bishop Jerry Macklin,=
2d Presiding Bishop of the COGIC churches, apologized to the host pastor o=
f the rally. ”I’m sorry for bringing wet shoes into the pulpit” he sa=
id. He was referring to remarks I made on the passage above. When Pet=
er walked on the water towards Jesus, he grew afraid because of the real da=
nger of what was around him. I admonished the people gathered that Pe=
ter actually was in the safest place, in the arms of Jesus. The other=
11 disciples thought they were safe in the boat, but that was a false safe=
ty. I said, “You faithful people think you are safer in the sanctuari=
es while the violence explodes around you, but Jesus is out on the street. =
What are you going to do?”. Stepping out on faith is a risky ve=
nture, and sometimes, being safe in the arms of Jesus also means walking ou=
t on the water in a storm. Bishop Macklin admonished us to be careful=
: dry shoes may be an indication of a weak faith. How about you=
? Is it time to step out today?

Teach me O Lord, ho=
