Amid a raging storm,
he never fails us,
For those who are dispirited,
he comforts through eclectic ways.

This morning he spoke during QT,
and i was awe stricken when it was accentuated during Sermon.
It was exactly the same taken from Matthew 14:28-29,
many coincidences warrants it not to be one.

Peter challenged Jesus ,saying,"Lord, if it is you, command me to you on the water."
Jesus said,"come."


Getting out of the boat entails leaving our comfort zone,
and whatever grapple that keeps us safe.
Staying on the boat does not guarantee lifelong safety either,
especially true when a storm rages.

The solution is to get out of the boat and walk to Jesus.
In vernaculars, it is to obey,and press on with faith despite our fears,
trusting in his plan.


Finally,a taste of honey:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
