Fear Meets Faith

 

 

When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, "Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch." Luke 5:4

 

Fear Meets Faith... I wonder how many times God doesn't answer our prayers because he is simply waiting for us to take the first step of faith? The depth of the water into which we sail depends upon how completely we have cut our ties to shore. No successful journey of faith is possible without access to living water. It requires you to leave the shore and launch out into the deep. Are you standing ankle deep in the river of Jesus? Walk in a little deeper. See where it will take you. Don’t let fear keep you on the river banks. Listen to God’s Word and then do as Peter did: “But because you say so…I’ll obey.”
