The Assignment Bureau (Part 6)


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.

Taking Risks


"And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus." ~ Matthew 14:29

Success can only be achieved when he have enough courage to step out of the boat, step out of the box, and take a risk.

When you do, God has promised to be right there with you.

But you've got to take the first step.

Take a risk for Christ today!

God bless,
J.W.
