But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
It is incredible to think about Jesus walking on the water. It is quite incredible to imagine. Seeing a person out on the water – of course, you would figure it's a ghost. Then Jesus telling them not to be afraid. Incredible! Jesus is capable of doing anything. Believe in His name and experience His greatness.
My Prayer...
Thank you, O God, for not only being there, but being close by — always waiting to respond to my cry of distress and fear. Forgive me for not inviting you and the Lord Jesus daily into a more active role in my life. I know you are near, so I ask that you not only make your presence known, but that you will gently confront me when I push you to the periphery of my daily life. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
