Walk on Water??
|
a place he would
later receive as his inheritance,
obeyed and went, even
though he did not know where he was
going" (Hebrews
11:8, NIV).
Don't you just love the title of the
book by John Ortberg:
"If You Want to Walk on Water, You've
Got to Get Out
of the Boat." It's one of those titles
that I wish I would
have thought of myself.
I suppose most of us like to stay close
to the shore in
shallow waters, safely within our
comfort zone.
However, if we are going to invest our
life and our God-
given talents in a worthy and noble
cause, and grow to
reach our full potential, at some point
we are going to
need to launch out into the deep of the
unknown, or as
John Ortberg put it, get out of the boat
and walk on the
water. He's talking about exercising
faith, of course, and
stretching beyond our known limits.
Sure it's scary, but unless we are
willing to risk failure,
we will never learn how to walk on water.
New Horizons
Unless you are willing
to launch out far from
sight of the shore
into the deep beyond
your present comfort zone,
you will never know
what you are capable
of doing or becoming,
nor will you ever discover
the new horizons
and greater dreams
your heart
is yearning for.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please give
me the vision
to see what my God-given life purpose
is, and the faith
and courage to launch out into the deep
to become all
that you have envisioned for me to be
and to do what
you plan for me to do. Thank you for
hearing and
answering my prayer. Gratefully, in
Jesus' name, amen."
