Peter's God-given assignment was to follow Jesus.
That included walking on water like Jesus (Matthew 14:22-33).
But instead of following his assignment, Peter got distracted by the wind and began to sink:
"So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. 'Save me, Lord!' he shouted." ~ Matthew 14:28-30
Peter's story, then, is a cautionary tale for us. When we take our attention away from our God-given assignment, we fail. But if we stay focused on our goal, we can accomplish God's will for our lives.
Don't be distracted by the winds in your life. Stay focused and walk on water.
God bless,
J.W.
